30th June (AC - Championships)

The East Midlands (AC) Championship was played at Nottingham from 27-29th June, in the second of this years June heatwaves. With only four lawns available, entries were restricted to 20, all with handicaps of scratch or below. 12 were visitors and 8 locals. Conditions appeared slightly more testing than usual, with some long games and only 10 tps (one straight).

There were no higher peeling turns, though not for want of trying by one of the players.

Debbie Lines won the finals of both the Draw, beating Lorna Dewar, and Process, beating Omied Hallam, to take the Hopewell Cup without the need for a play-off. The plate was won by Dave Kibble, who beat Ian Lines in the final.
