The Pairs at the Pig event was well attended – 16 pairs entered which was possibly the highest ever entry. There were also several spectators adding to the atmosphere. Simon Williams and Gary O’Grady’s games attracted quite a voluble audience, and Mark Bryant had to quieten things down on a couple of occasions, but the games were all played in the spirit of the evening. Bar trade seemed fairly brisk as the tension mounted.
