Uh, today in the room, lucky enough to have three individuals, uh, who all competed in the Don Ross Derby.

Uh, most importantly, uh, we have the champions, uh, from the 2026 event, and they're gonna h- you know, you're gonna hear from them about their, their win.

Uh, representing the second place team, uh, myself.

Uh, my partner Peter White doesn't know it, but I didn't invite him.

Uh, but he just lives down the road too.

Sorry, Peter.

[laughs]

Um, but, uh, representing third place, uh, John Story.

Welcome, John.

Thanks.

And, uh, we didn't invite his partner because he doesn't really speak that clearly in English, uh, Alec Mackey.

ESL.

Yeah.

So, uh, anyway, welcome to the champs.

Uh, Greg Campbell, welcome.

Thank you.

And, uh, Don Gowan.

Thank you very much.

So guys, uh, this, this was the 19th running of the Don Ross event.

Uh, thanks to our friend Jack Jenner, who's been putting this thing on since the beginning.

A- and I just wanna say, uh, to the listeners out there, if you haven't heard Jack Jenner's episode, go to season one, episode 11, and you can hear all about, uh, Jack and, and the tournament history and all the things that, uh, you know, went into getting it going.

Uh, we've been, uh, reaping the benefits of it at Royal Colwood for a number of years.

And, uh, I have to say, you know, I've only been around four years, but every year I played in it, it's been fantastic.
