This Summer looks like a busy one for Roger and Sue . There are many smite events, including PTA evenings, Scouts competitions, Chapel and other charity fundraisers.

Sun Shines on World  Smiters!
St. Neot’s Doorstep  Green was the superb venue for the Third Annual World Smite Championships on Monday. Over 160 entrants basked in glorious sunshine and enjoyed a hectic, but fun afternoon. Truly the sun shines on the Smiteous!

The game of Smite  now attracts players from far afield, and it was good to welcome competitors from Malta for the first time this year, as well as our usual entrants from all over U.K.
After a “Parade of Champions” and the presentation of a special award to  Graham “ fatwa” McCloud,we began with ten Smiting strips being used.

After a long and competitive tournament, the eventual winners were local players  Derek and Sandra Fairhall, who now have the honour of calling themselves “World Champions”- a simple bow when meeting them in the village should suffice! Runners- up were Lynne and Jon.

Smiting superstar Dan  “The Legend” Thompson retained  his World Singles title ,defeating Mike Conroy from Reading in a tense and skilful final which could have gone either way.A huge crowd stayed on to witness this great feat. Dan’s trauma counsellor can stand down for another year!

Winners of the Junior title were sisters Grace and Lorna Murray from Somerset, with Lucy and Charlotte taking the runners- up spot.

Marjorie and Bevil Bunt provided their usual superb BBQ which was hugely appreciated by competitors and spectators alike.

Thanks to all who  came and supported and made it such a fun afternoon. £300 was raised for Doorstep Green funds.

For all who would like to take part next year, do make a date in your diary- August Bank Holiday afternoon Doorstep Green St. Neot!

Smite reviews...
Thanks to  ITV's "This Morning"  who gave Smite a ringing endorsement. "Now this is something really special" and Philip Schofield's comment "We like a game called Smite!"

Thanks too to BBC Radio Cornwall who have again featured Smite, and Cornwall Today magazine who's article led to a massive boost in Smite sales over Christmas.

Smite received an enthusiastic endorsement in the June 24th edition of The Times Educational Supplement. In an article headlined "Love at first Smite". It concludes that Smite is

"a game that can add fun, novelty and educational value to any school that is looking for a new way to engage pupils"

Recognising its potential as a mathematical tool the article calls Smite

"The game you can count on!"

Thanks to Cornwall Today who gave us a fantastic five page spread before Christmas.We had literally hundreds of enquiries and orders, mainly from ex-pat Cornish from all over U.K.
