Club Championship for Open Pairs - Report
The BWBC Premier Pairs event was held on Saturday. The event also doubles as a qualifier for the State Pairs Championship to be held later this year at the home of NSW Bridge in Sydney. This year the championship consisted of two sessions; the first a Mitchell and finally an Interwoven Howell so that by the end of the tournament all pairs had played each other. Congratulations to Karen Ody & Jim Routledge our club champs for this year. As a newly formed duo they have become quite formidable opponents.
Competition regulars Sylvia Foster & Jaan Oitmaa filled the 2nd spot on the podium missing the major prize by 2%. George Boettiger & Deborah Guthrie secured 3rd place.
Twelve pairs contested the championship. Thanks all for a great Championship played in a wonderful spirit.
Well done to Director Gary Barwick and organiser Peter Hume for a smooth championship. Thanks to those who were involved with the lunch and yummy special treats.
