Bridge Club News

We sometimes have a problem with bad language at our bridge tables.
We've all experienced times when the gentle hum of social chat is too loud - it's hard to hear our own table's chat, and sometimes we play badly due to distraction.
I am not talking about that problem.

Congratulations to Jenny and Max Paterson who came second in Category D in this Intermediates Championship which was part of the recent Gold Coast Congress.

Congratulations to several of our club members who are among the highest ranked players in the ABF 2024 McCutcheon awards and to Sachiko Cathcart who is the winner in the Bronze Life Master masterpoint category.

About 20 club members attended parts of this congress with varying degrees of success. Congratulations to Sandy Carter and Nerida Gillies who came second in the TBIB U750 / U500 Swiss Pairs (first and second placed pairs were both U500).

Congratulations to John Mitchell and Steve Marton who came first in the 25 - 50 MP category and second overall. They win a cash prize. Also to Ian Hobbs and Diane Garstang who came third in the 25 - 50 MP category and tenth overall. They all win a subscription to Australian Bridge magazine.

This was held on Sun 8 Dec and was a great success with 102 people attending. See some photos here (click the four little squares in the top right corner to show thumbnails). If you open one, you can then use left and right arrows or swipe to move to the next one.
Thanks to Trish and the Committee for their hard work organising, Rowie for the excellent food, David for directing, Bronwyn for the photos and John for his trivia questions.
