Congratulations to all the worthy winners listed below and a vote of thanks to all the competitors for making the Laurel View teams efforts worthwhile.

Huge appreciation to judges Ivor Harper, Angelene Nicholson and Andrew Ross for lending so generously of their time and expertise, with their efficient scribes at their side.
