English presidents top the guest-list
The dinner was hosted by county presidents Tony and Rita Mace who responded to the toasts proposed to the county men’s and women’s federations by the national presidents who then assisted in the presentation of the indoor and outdoor trophies.
As was pointed out, the county has enjoyed better times at the national indoor and outdoor finals, although the men did win the indoor Eversley Trophy at Newark, a one-day competition for county officials, and the county were runners-up in the men’s Newton Trophy inter-county championship and in the mixed pairs through Parkway pair Chris Morton and Simon Law.
