KIT - April 2025

This morning's KIT was played out in bright sunshine and, as the morning heated up, the rallies seemed to get longer and longer - great fun but quite exhausting really!

The 8 people involved today were:

Arthur, Kish, Don & Ken + Angela, Caryl, Emma & Gill

Many thanks to Angela for stepping in at the last moment as a replacement.

After the round robin matches the final ended up as:

Kish & Emma v Ken & Gill

There then followed the usual one set final that involved loads of long rallies and a lot of games going to at least one deuce. 

However, as they say, there can be only one winner and today it was Gill & Ken by 6-1!

The 4 finalists - Kish, Emma, Ken & Gill

...... and here are today's winners of the 64th KIT - Ken & Gill

Pairs - March 2025

 This month's topic was "pairs" - here is what you have sent in:

Don - having played countless cribbage games with my (now 95 year old) Father-in-law over the past 50 years he always refers to 2 pairs as ‘Paddy’s orchard’ (or 2 pears!!)

(for reference only 4 points scored)

Ken - a pair of ceramic pears on sale at the Long Barn

John - a pair of trees

Gill - a pair of swans on the river at Alresford

Gill - two of the five ducklings my daughter was looking after

Kate took these three photos in Redfields Garden Centre - "Gardening weather at last. 

Pairs of gloves, pairs of shoes and pairs of pairs of pruners!"

Sue - 3 pairs of chairs looking out to sea in Tenerife

Gaynor - three photos from her recent trip to Oman:

You might have spotted that there are a few less participants this month - perhaps the topics are getting harder, people are getting busier or enthusiasm is gradually starting to wane which, after 70 topics, would hardly be surprising!  

Let's see what April brings - with our topic of:

"Corners"
