Eric Gibson Teams Event.
Eric joined our (at that time 1975) little Bridge Club after he and his wife, Betty, moved from Cooma. The Club had newly formed with financial support from Jean Pelham, the inaugural President. Jean is remembered each year with the Jean Pelham Charity Day Pairs in May each year. Other early Presidents were Beryl Ebsworth (76/77) and Joan Taylor (79/80).
Eric served on the club committee in many roles including Director, and was conferred life membership in 1996. When writing a history of the Club in 1995 he noted “Bridge influenced our lives, as it has done for many others. It is an important “connector” and offers an intellectual challenge to people of all ages and it gives them an opportunity to meet new friends”.
The event this year was played on Thursday 31st August. An excellent field of ten teams, faced the starter. Teams is a very different event compared to our usual game as you are playing one team, at a time, as opposed to the whole field.
