A runaway winner this month. Dave Parfitt is no stranger to the podium and his excellent clue headed the field by some way – well done Dave! – and well done David! – Mr Harry pops onto the podium for his first visit this year, just heading up a very tightly packed chasing group.
 
A tie for 3rd spot with Roslyn making her first appearance since her top spot at the end of 2011, and Trevor making a very welcome return to competition after far too long a break – 5th place goes to Luciano.
 
Congratulations to all for making the effort in what was a much tougher challenge!
