On Sunday four of the club travelled down to Lordswood in Kent for the annual International Kent Classic.
This year the Dutch team came over and most of the top UK players where there.
After the leagues in the morning we went on to the Silver competition in the afternoon.
We where finally knocked out in the semi finals to Barbie and Ken, friends we know from Kent.
I think this is the first time we have actually won prize money £15. It will go into the pot for our trip to Brean Sands next weekend.
