Neil Price wins the Peter Pan cup on Xmas Day
Sun, 25 Dec 2011, Serpentine SC

You heard it on the GBC

Congratulations to Neil Price for winning the Peter Pan cup today.

Tony Cleaver took second place.

Thank you to all for support and friendship throughout 2011; especially the Greenbury family who supplied today's trophy, and Secret Santa who was played by Bobby Baxter.

In true Serpentine SC style, Emmie baked a fantastic Xmas cake which you'll recognise in the photos.

Happy Christmas to all.

No pun intended, but in Chile, our waters looked... wait for it, sorry, here it comes... chilly. On the boards, they intuitively had their eyes on race on race winner, Neil Price.
