Liz McGowan beat Alan Goodman in the final by 3 imps after 36 boards. Goodman had a small lead after the first 2 stanzas winning both by a small margin. The last set of 10 boards were apparently a bit wild with big swings both ways.
Goodman and McGowan beat Sime and Home respectively in the semifinals.
Meanwhile the state of the Plate is as follows: David Chambers beat Tom Bagnall in semifinal 1, and awaits the winner from the second half. This will be J.P. Hamilton (winners over McQuaker) or the winners of the Kirwkood/Smith quarterfinal.

Here is the Constitution of the East District as approved at the AGM in May 2011.
The SBU implemented the new 2017 Laws on 1st September 2017. Copies of the new Laws are available from Anne Perkins.
Did you know that those paper MP certificates in your bottom drawer are going to be worth as much as a ten-bob bank note in a few days? Either deliver them to Membership Services or bin them; and please do not send them to the Rose St mailbox in Edinburgh, send them along with your cheques and any other correspondence to: G Plant – SBU 21/5 Falcon Road West Edinburgh EH10 4AD
MEMPAD gives every SBU member access to their current Master Point totals and ranking, updated daily. Clubs submit master points on-line so you will be able to see your MP totals updated relatively soon after you have played at your local club. There’s also information about members, clubs and SBU competitions.
Email the Master Point Secretary () and ask for a login. Remember to quote your MasterPoint number; you can then register, update your personal details (address, telephone number, email address etc.) and change your password.
