David Maugham won the Peterson Cup at the Bowdon Advanced Weekend on 1-2 June 2024. A full field of 16 enjoyed some excellent weather and lovely lawns, as well as great catering ably provided by Angharrad Walters. In the first round Neil Adams had a good win over Debbie Lines, but otherwise results went with seeding. In the semi-finals Dave Kibble beat Alison Maugham +26tp, +26tp without her taking croquet, but in the best-of-five final David Maugham proved too strong and David won +25tp, +23tp, -26tp, +12tpo.

In the Plate, Ian Lines entertained the Saturday evening crowd with a slightly adventurous sextuple against Paul Rigge, and Ian then went on to win the Plate. Brian Storey presented the trophy to David Maugham (for about the 12^th time), and David thanked all those responsible for yet another excellent weekend tournament.
