Jorion combined with Arnold Hutchins (skip) to win the pairs.

Babe Pointon and Raggett (skip) were runners-up. Six pairs took part.

Three teams took part in the trios. Nanette Treloar (skip), John Cording and Barry Allen were the winners, while Raggett (skip), Pointon and Jorion were runners-up.

Hutchins (skip), Cording, Paddy Malcolm and Roy Selby won the fours. Raggett completed a set of runner-up finishes, skipping the team of Bruce Easton, Des Malcolm and Kathy Coates to second place in a field of three teams.
