Bridge Club News
We had our first of 4 Novice Team Events on 14th March , held at Elanora Golf Club with a wonderful sit-down lunch.
In addition to playing with Elanora Golf Club players we played against Roseville Golf Club and Manly Golf Club players. We just missed being 2nd by a few points.
In May we are the hosts so are looking forward to that.
Half a dozen Peninsula pairs entered into this North Shore Bridge Club special Swiss Pairs event on Sun 10 Mar. Many of us had our triumphs during the day, but our club highlights were:
- Yvonne Edwards and Maris Taylor winning the best restricted pair for the event
- Sandy Carter and Nerida Gillies reaching the top table for the last round in this open event
We had a good Teams Day on Sunday March 10th with 7 tables and food and drinks. See here for some photos of the event (thanks Susan). (click the four little squares in the top right corner to show thumbnails).
Unfortunately the Directors had a hard time as the scoring program refused to provide all the results so we do not have any overall scores but are working on it. It may have been user error, of course!
Thanks to Cath Whiddon for organizing a practice teams day on Thu Feb 15th for 12 teams. Trish Berry and Dee Rowe administered the players.
Press See photos to see photos of the winning teams.
