Dear friends,
On behalf of the Bonalba committee and members, we would like to thank everyone for participating in The Geoff Dowson Open Mixed Triples Competition on Saturday, June 1st, 2024. 
32 teams from 11 different clubs from across the Costa Blanca entered this competition and it was fully booked without any advertising, which speaks volumes about our late president Geoff Dowson.
For those who stayed over, we hope you had an enjoyable evening at the Hong Kong restaurant and apologise for the delays .
It was wonderful to see so many people attend the evening meal, Initially, we expected 30-40 people, but the final total was 95, exceeding our expectations. 
Congratulations to the winners of the first Geoff Dowson Memorial Open Mixed Triples Competition.
