I thought Scarisbrick village hall would be a good venue because I could have exterior search away from the road, and we could use the smaller hall for the searches away from the main kitchen so the tea & coffee would be available all day. Little did I know that when it rained the water didn’t drain away from around the hall?
Felicity Ashford and Tracy Ridgeway had kindly agreed to judge for us. It had rained all day Saturday and the forecast was not good for the Sunday but I considered it okay to continue despite the rain. My team of helpers and competitors arrived in good time.
The morning went very smoothly with Wendy Cook and Alice Wignall scribing for level 1. John Rands & Gordon KInvig as runners for the morning. Then in the afternoon John continued as runner joined by Linda Brown, and Alison Webb and Fiona Jackson were scribes for level 2. Judy Kirkham looked after the kitchen and all of us including mopping a hundred times. Thank you all.
A huge congratulations to all our Level 1 & 2 qualifiers and placers, especially Rachel Richards & Chip who took first place in level 1 and obtained their excellence rosette at the same time and Helen Taylor & Skylar who took first place in level 2 and obtained their excellence rosette as well. I think I should mention Linda Brown with Buzz as they found 3 finds very quickly but spent a lot of time on tables and chairs putting them out of the places. I know this was the first time for several teams today but I don’t think the weather has put them off from entering again. It did stop raining for the level 2 teams but they had to paddle to each area by this time.
