Guests (playing and non playing!) had the opportunity to buy and browse from the book and brocante stall, and buy plants for the summer season. Many thanks to Philip Pearce and John Hilton for devoting so much time and effort to these stalls, which raised over 200 Euros. The swimming pool was open for use for guests to cool off between rounds.
