Congratulations to our 12 recently promoted members listed below. It is testament to the committee and members of our thriving club that so many continue to improve their national ranking – well done all! Promotions are:

After our recent 2-week competition, big congratulations go to the winners (pictured) with 6 wins (i.e. no losses!) — Daphne Yarnold, Megan Grant, Gail Salmon & Barbara Williams. Special mention goes to 2nd place-getters (with 4 wins & 2 losses) — Ann Kynaston, Judy King, Janet Flanagan & Robert Palasthy. Well done to organisers and to all who competed!

We have five new books in our extensive clubhouse library with excellent tips and exercises to help you improve your card play. Written by Barbara Seagram and David Bird, they are well set out and easy to follow. Titles include: Defensive Play at Bridge, Declarer Play at Bridge (helpful for those players with about 50 Masterpoints looking to make that extra trick), Planning the Play of a Bridge Hand (useful for new players) and more.

Congratulations go to our recently promoted members: Michael Lawrence (to Bronze Life Master), Delia Dan (to State Master) and Trish Roberts (to Graduate Master). For information about ranks, click here. Also, congratulations to our club’s top 50 most improved players (as at 31 August 2019).

Well done to local players Margaret Boniface, Megan Grant, Barb Williams and Bev Daniels (pictured) who won the Restricted Teams section of Camden Haven Bridge Club’s congress last Sunday. Margaret and Megan also won the Restricted Pairs on Saturday with Barb & Bev runners up! (results)
