We nearly had a new CCCWC mafia! The winners from the last two months were jockeying for top spot almost all the way through the voting, but then up popped AR Devanathan to steal it! Well done AR, first time in the frame. Congratulations also to Margaret and Andrew – close behind, and showing good consistency. David and Ken complete the podium in what was a most enjoyable competition – many thanks for the entertainment!
