    Yup! We took over 1000 photos at the tournament. The photos turned out really well this year. Give me two weeks, and I will post them up before the end of June. :)

    As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions and how we can improve it for next year! Stay tuned as we will be aiming to run the tournament in May instead to hopefully avoid the hot weather!
