Wilkinson Hall is delighted to announce our victory in the most epic stand-off of the 21st century, against Gabor Hall. Despite the rain and the best efforts of Gabor, the Wilkinson team managed to go ahead in the penultimate round, and made a glorious stand in the final showdown to clinch victory. Seriously though, everybody who attended had a great time, and big thanks to Adam at Gabor Hall for putting the day together.
