The second session was a Howell movement which meant that every pair played each other at some time during the Championship. This tricky movement, devised by Director, Peter Hume, certainly kept us on our toes. He was ably assisted in this by Marcelle Goslin who told us where to be seated when we got lost.
Someone once said a week is a long time in politics. It certainly can be in Bridge. The leaders from the previous week came back to the field as others demonstrated their prowess. Special mention to Carolyn Harper and Kerry-Anne Durrant. Kerry-Anne is our most regular player and joins us almost every day. Good to see them on the podium.

Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to Peter and Marcelle.
