We all enjoy our regular game of Bridge. The fun, the camaraderie, the excitement when you get a really good hand, when a finesse works (no me either), just the enjoyment of being with all the other members.

Have you thought about asking a friend or two to come along to learn to play? Think back? How do you first get interested in our great game? Was it a friend? In my case it sure was and I can’t thank him enough. You could be such a friend.

The Championship was conducted over two Mondays and was a resounding success.

Forty members participated both weeks in what was a real fun competition. Apart from playing with twenty six different partners, some of whom you may or may not know, you also had the chance to play with some of the Club’s better players.

The overall winner, Blair Glass, won both sessions.
Blair was a relative novice in the field, which just goes to show that masterpoint ranking isn’t what always matters.

The players all expressed the enjoyment they had and are looking forward to competing again soon. The Club Upside Down Pairs is coming up on Monday 13 March – another opportunity for the less experienced to partner with an experienced player.

The planning for the competition was extensive and we thank Director Chris Hannan and movement guru Peter Hume for all their hard work.
