The inaugural Bunbury Open was a huge success, thank you to everyone who participated.

We had 19 entrants on the day at the awesome venue at Manea Senior College. It was a great weekend with a bunch of friendly people from across WA, including Perth, Margaret River and even Denmark.

Congratulations to the winner Tim Hare, he is our Bunbury Open Champion! He took home $500 and gets his name on the Bunbury Open Trophy!
