There were two really good meetings in March. The first March meeting was our annual competition for Card Magic, the Ron Gordon Cup. There were seven entries. In performance order: Steve Meredith, Jim Aitken, Dave Anderson, James Dickson, Douglas Cairns, Paul Rae and Scott Clegg. Each act was superb. When Garry was summing up the evening and presenting the trophy, he rightly said that any one of them would be in with a chance of winning the national competition at SAMS. That was no exaggeration as all acts were of the highest standard. The judges (Jenny Seagraves, Nicolas Maulet and Dave Goulding) had a tough job as always; Norn kept time beautifully. After the judges scorecards were collected and totalled and the timings were taken into consideration, the President declared James Dickson to be the winner. He was presented with a temporary trophy as Marcus, who holds the real thing, was delayed in London.

The second meeting was a Four Way Workshop, hosted by Norn Bichan. Norn himself talked about balloons and beads. Scott Clegg sparked a lot of interest with his Svengali Deck, Steve Meredith taught some great stuff with elastic bands and the Secretary had everyone fiddling with paperclips and handcuffs.
