Many Peninsula pairs played in the State Mixed Pairs Championship on the weekend of 26-27 May, with Margaret and Michael Draper the most successful. Margaret and Michael, who were representing Manly Leagues Bridge Club, were 6th in the North-South field at the end of the Qualifying round and so earned a place in the 7 table finals. In the Finals they were placed a creditable 12th, with two pairs tying for first place: Kevin ROSENBERG - Susan HUMPHRIES and Warren LAZER - Pauline GUMBY. Some of us will remember Susan Humphries tag teaming with Liam Milne as our Swiss Pairs experts on Tue 22 May.
Other Peninsula members who made the top 20 in each direction in the qualifying event included:
- Vivien ELDRIDGE - Alan DAVIES 14th in the North-South Qualifying field
- Anne SMALL - Hans VAN WEEREN 19th in the East-West Qualifying field
Vivien and Alan also were successful, coming ninth, in the one-day Swiss Pairs for those who did not make the Finals group.
