Oktoberfest

Twenty three duos signed up for the Oktoberfest Pairs Red Point event.  The Novice Howell event was won by Linda Cunningham & Ian Newton. Their score was a whopping 11% above the pack! Well done Linda/Ian; hopefully we’ll be welcoming you to the open tables soon.

The open section was much closer with the podium players from both NS & EW swapping positions throughout the afternoon. In the end Christine Hadaway & Chris Hannan won the honours (NS) and Dasha Brandt & David Bowerman (EW) both by small percentages.

Generally, players had a great session of bridge with some challenging boards. A number of technical game contracts were on offer that make and don’t make depending on your mental telepathy skills!  Finally, I noticed some giggling going on which seemed to grow as various players celebrated their Oktoberfest afternoon.

Thanks to Kerry for organising the Oktoberfest food.
