| 29th January A very cold, damp evening with some sleet and snow. A few hardy souls turned-up but not the organiser! | |
| 26th February After a glorious spring-like day, 20 players were encouraged to come out in the evening. After 3 rounds only Ali and Steve Lombard were on 3 wins and Ali was ahead on points having had 2 big wins. In the final round Steve suffered a very heavy defeat to Callum while Ali lost narrowly.

Lee and Carol fought out a 6-6 draw while Dave lost a very low sconng game 3-4. Meanwhile Mike Porter came storming into the running with a 13-0 win, leaving 3 players on 3 wins and a draw. Lee came out the winner by the closest of margins with just two points separating the top 3. | 1st Lee Redfern 2nd Carol Colyer 3rd Mike Porter |
| 28th May A slightly disappointing 14 present after the April high. A mixture of big wins and low scoring games left Dave, Ali and Pete as the only players to have won all their games after 3 rounds. Pete could only draw his last game while Dave and Ali both won. With 4-3, 6-5 and 7-4 wins Ali was left trailing on points difference behind Dave. | 1st Dave Stubbs 2nd Ali Stubbs 3rd Pete Tomlin |
| 25th June Another fine turn-out with 19 playing in the melee and 3 other members playing summer doubles. Mike, Dave and Lee had all won 3 games going into the final round. The draw put Mike with Dave against Lee and Steve Brickell. Dave and Mike looked to have the game won with an 8-4 lead but some amazing play by Lee to promote Steve’s front boules saw them take 5 points to snatch the game in the final end. Again some incredibly close results but Lee had the 4 wins! | 1st Lee Redfern 2nd Dave Stubbs 3rd Mike Porter 4th Ali Stubbs |
| 30th July A warm summer evening but only 12 present After 3 rounds onlly Dave was undefeated.

| 24th September 11 players turned up but unfortunately so did the rain! After the first round. Steve Love and Terry were tied on 1 win +13. With 3 others also on 1 win, it was decided to play one more round in the rain to try to find a winner but both games in the second round finished as a draw!

| 26th November A mild evening after a very wet day saw 10 players turn-out. After 3 rounds only Hassi was unbeaten.
