At the Annual General Meeting of the Cambs Association the Treasurer (Mrs M.C.Reeve) revealed that there was a debit balance of £10 due to the enormous expense of Car Hire for three teams in the National County Championships. Mr L.E.Betterman deplored the situation and recommended that the Committee hold an emergency session to consider the situation. Mr Leslie Woollard (Editor of the English Table Magazine, also of Bedfordshire) was welcomed to the meeting as an invited guest. Mr Woollard stated that this position occurred in several counties who were at their wits to exist. The Author (Cambs President at the time) thanked all the officials for their help also the players who had done their best in difficult circumstances and thereupon the meeting had a "whip-round" to cut out the deficit and next season would start with a clean sheet! What a remarkable situation that was resolved by the officials dipping into their pockets to "save the side".
In the Zonal rounds of the Suffolk Championships held at Lowestoft proceedings were cancelled owing to extensive flooding and players had difficulty getting home by devious routes! Several Cambs players were involved including Heather Mitchell, Pam Banks and John Gregory.
