Nick Archer, Steve Dennis and Anne Dennis all proceeded from the Area Finals at Letchworth through to the National Finals at Dulwich, where Nick and Steve both made it through the block stages and eventually met each other in the final. Nick was the winner of a hard-fought contest between them to become the All England GC Handicap Champion, making Steve the runner up.

A terrific result - congratulations to all!
