PAGB Inter-Club Print Championship
Massive congratulations to Rolls-Royce who won the PAGB Inter Club Print Championships on Sunday 28th October.
This is the first time a N&EMPF Club has won this prestigious award.
Here's a report from Peter Cheetham, Hon PAGB:
What a day for N&EMPF! Rolls-Royce (Derby) PS had just missed out at winning at Warwick in the PDI Championship but they became the Number One club in the Print Championship.
At the end of the first round, with 38 clubs competing including the 8 finalists from 2017, Rolls-Royce (Derby) PS had 145 marks, but Arden had 166 and Wigan 10 had 161. The Plate Competition was run and Catchlight CC from Northern Ireland scored 72 marks with Warrington PS coming second with 70.
The Final started with plenty of 15’s and 14’s and when the scores were awarded the 9 Clubs competing came out as:
A fantastic win for a N&EMPF Club by 1 important point.

Change in PAGB Mileage Rates
With immediate effect the PAGB mileage rate for expenses has been changed from up to 30pence per mile (plus cost of fuel) to a flat rate of up to 45pence per mile and no cost of fuel. In reality this should make only a small change to expenses.
