The Championship was fought out over 2 sessions. Seasoned novices, Carolynne Mucharsky & Graham Woof had a narrow win with a 1.5% buffer at the close of play.  Their results were very consistent with a 2nd in session 1 and a 1st in session 2. 

The second podium spot was filled by improving duo John Aldersley & Beryl Lowry.  Blair Glass & Ian Newton with a very respectable 55%, filled the final spot on the podium. Well Done podium dwellers.
Sylvia Foster officiated over this event and reports our novices are making good progress.

At the close of play participants enjoyed a quiet drink at the Everglades Country Club. We trust all our novices enjoyed their 2 weeks of competition.

The committee advises that from 7 September until further notice Wednesday Morning Bridge Sessions are cancelled.

Members wishing to play in the Wednesday PM session (soft duplicate) are welcome.

Note that Wednesday afternoon sessions will switch to a 12.30 start time

Spring Pairs scheduled for Wednesday 21 September will run as an afternoon session - with separate Open and Novice sections if numbers appropriate.

With two wins each teams Hadaway and Hasemore met for the final clash in the last round of the day. Team Hadaway soon exerted their dominance on the match handing a bridge lesson to the Hasemore hopefuls. Winning both NS & EW directions they emerged with a significant 16 point imp advantage. Thus, with 3 wins and a 10 point VP lead they had a very comfortable win in this tournament. Well done players.

The battle for the other podium spots was won by Team Oitmaa from Team Hasemore. Both teams had two wins but in the final analysis Team Oitmaa had the VP advantage.

The tournament consisted of 3 x 11 board rounds.  Eight teams signed up for the short but very enjoyable teams day.

1st = Christine Hadaway - Jacqueline Wilson - Noel Crockett - Shirley Crockett

2nd = Jim Routledge - Jaan Oitmaa - Lorraine Lindsay - Jan Davis

3rd = Chris Hasemore - Martin Johnson - Barry Foster - Hope Tomlinson
