[<<] [>>] by Ian Lines at Bowdon
31 May 2009 (AC)

The 2009 Bowdon June Advanced Weekend was won by David Maugham who beat Ian Lines in the final (-17tp, +26stp, -7otp, +25, +5tpo). The consolation Egyptian Event was won by David Walters, who completed his first ever TPO (only his 3rd ever ranking triple).

The Peterson Trophy was presented to David by Martin Granger-Brown, and thanks were recorded to John Saxby and his team for the magnificent catering, and to Alan Mayne and all those involved in preparing and setting the lawns.

The Bowdon lawns were in excellent condition, but fairly easy at about 10 plummers, even though the hoops were set to 1/32". Some of the new Jaques hoops were being trialled on lawn 1 - they seem very well engineered in cast iron with a President's clearance of 1/16" over their whole height, and they have slightly thicker uprights (0.7"). However, they appeared to be only very marginally more difficult to run than our standard steel President's hoops.
