Mark Newman had presented all the prizes on behalf of the organisers. Mark also played in the tournament and finished second in the Senior section. Someone else would have to award this prize and it appears QUB CC Treasurer
, Ben Campbell stepped up to handle the formalities. As reported on the QUB CC Facebook page, Ben is taking
part in a Childreach project in Nepal in the near future that focuses
its efforts to fight child trafficking. He is heading out to work with
the kids and also climb part of Mount Everest as a challenge to raise
further funds for the charity. Below is the moment where Mark learns that his prize is to accompany Ben on the climb up Everest.😈
