Summer Pairs 2023 - champions

Congratulations to the winners of this year's Summer Pairs two-week competition: N/S - Fran and Wayne Carroll; and E/W Teresa Siminska and Tom Siminski. (It just goes to show you can play with your spouse and win!) Full results and further place-getters will be posted on the clubhouse noticeboard next week. Well done all!

2022 wraps up with awards and Xmas celebrations

Monday 12 December 2022 saw a crowded, happy and enjoyable celebration of another successful year of bridge. The event started with the presentation of awards and certificates (pictured and listed below). A delicious lunch followed, ending with a relaxed game of casual bridge.

The latter included a table of two of our highest masterpoint-ranked players alongside two new members who had not a masterpoint between them! It was great to see the happy mix - we look forward to our 'newbies' continuing with such force in 2023.

2022 Club Pairs winners and grinners

After a hard-fought two-week competition, congratulations go to this year's Club Pairs champions Janet Flanagan and Robert Palasthy (pictured). Second and third placegetters were respectively: Judy Scott and Margaret Boniface; & Pauline Erby and Lance Coffey. Also pictured are our biggest grinners (but wooden spooners), Judy King and Shirley Craig.

Well done to all competitors!

The Christmas Party with Presentations is on! Monday 12 December 2022

Due to popular demand, a more casual version of our usual Christmas party returns on Monday 12 December starting at 11:30am. Trophies and certificates will be presented then a light lunch - finger food etc will be followed by a game of bridge. Ladies are asked to bring a plate - please add your name and wonderful offering (savoury/sweet) to the list on the clubhouse noticeboard. Gentlemen are asked to bring some liquid refreshments to share, non- and alcoholic are both acceptable.
