The first round of the 2010 MK DBMM Grand Prix took place on Thursday 18th March. With nineteen entrants and only one player crying off, we started the year with an unprecedented eighteen players. The attraction of the DBMM 100 continues to increase as not only did John Saunders travel from Birmingham and Dave Mather from London, but also Steven Bounds and Mike Pickering travelled from Cambridge for an evening entertainment.

Evening 5

The fifth round of the 2010 MK DBMM Grand Prix took place on Thursday 9th December. We had twelve entrants for this round, with a few call offs due to the bad weather and work committments the entry level remained strong. This was the round of the “secret Army”,and Mr Gibson excelled himself with Western Sudanese he provided for me! Congratulstions to Phil for another fine performance (if only you’d played four rounds then the overall could have been yours).

Welcome back to John Saunders you’ve been missed.
