25 August - PCC 'A' (AC) draw v Blewbury
PCC scored an unexpected draw with Blewbury's 'minus' players this evening.
Chris Roberts took bar far the biggest 'scalp' of his career when he beat England International Robin Brown in a game that ended in near darkness.
David Hopkins came in for Carole Jackson to play Nick Butler but found the experienced Blewbury man too good for him again.
22 August - (AC) PCC 'Handicap' end season undefeated
The reamining two games in the four-game league match with High Wycombe were won today by Harry Midgley and Rahu Iyer.
Brian Bucknall and Elizabeth O'Dair had won their games much earlier on, and so a 4 - 0 was recorded and earned PCC second place in the SCF handicap League (North) behind winners Oxford University.

20 August - (Joint AC&GC) PCC 'Friendly' lose at Wimbledon -
This year it was our tour to visit the splendid All England Club, Wimbledon, and once again our players were treated royally.
Either side of a splendid lunch and visit to the Tennis Club's Royal Box, our team were rather out gunned by our hosts.
Chris Roberts and Harry Midgley didn't really get a look in in the AC singles but faired little better in the afternoon doubles match.
On the GC court, Frances Colman, Ralph Chambers and Dilys and Alex Earnshaw, came back well after being well behind at lunch, to draw the afternoon session.
17 August - (GC) PCC 'B' lose to Wingrave 4-8
The difficult season for PCC 'B' (GC) continued today with another league loss.
Opponents now appear to have caught us up with the knowledge of who best to use 'extra turns' in handicap play and whilst PCC 'C'
are doing well, the lower handicapped players in the 'B' team, are suffering and ending up on the receiving end.
16 August - (GC) Peperell qualifies for National Handicap Final
Richard Peperell qualified for the National Final of this Handicap GC competition via the area semi-fila at Hamptworth today - and
congratulations to him!
Our other three competitors Ian and Delai Norris, and Dianne Brown, faired less well.
All four of them qualaified for the area stage as the top finishers in our own Handicap (Black Ball) tournanet earlier in the season
14 & 15 August - (GC) 'Smokey's Cup' (part of the National GC B-Level Series) ~ Photo >>>>>>>
This annual event was held over the past two days and attracted 16 players from eight different clubs, including three of our own members.
The tournament was won by Andrew Carpenter, who had come from furthest afield (all the way from Durham!) and he was also the youngest
competitor by a number of years.
His winning margin was one clear win from the familiar Andrea Huxley of Guildford who has attended 'Smokey's Cup' in each of its four
years existence.
The Phyllis Court players participating were Delia Norris, Richard Peperell and Don Rutherford, who each won five games and came joint 10th.
It was lovely to welcome back Smokey Eades to present his trophy once more.
13 August - Our Annual Summer Party was enjoyed by those who attended, for the first time since the riverside
pavilion underwent its refurbishment.
