A sunny final Park-O for this school year was followed by our club’s annual prize-giving. Results are now up at https://www.waoc.org.uk/results.

Great to see everyone - see you again for our next Park-O in September!

Notice of Annual Prizegiving

We will be holding a short prizegiving ceremony during the Hinchingbrooke Park-O on 26th June.

This is a chance to present the various awards and trophies that would normally be given out at our AGM, when such meetings are in the flesh rather than via a teleconferencing app. The prizegiving will be held at 3:30 pm.

Everyone coming to Hinchingbrooke, is invited to attend the prizegiving and applaud the recipients.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
