Congratulations to our latest Octogenarian!
Vicki made 2 stunning cakes which the Thursday afternoon crowd enjoyed to celebrate Julie Rope's special milestone. Many Happy Returns Julie from the club.
The Great Boat Race ...
... gets a mention on this week's The Bridge Zone. Barry and Mereana also mentioned The Cambridge Sixes which will be covered in greater detail in next week's show.
Ruth and Dayelle shine in Hamilton
Wonderful to see Dayelle and Ruth take Silver in the Hamilton Intermediate today. Congratulations to them! They won the morning session and did enough in the second one, only squeezed by 0.6% from first position in the standings.
The Great Boat Race - Take 2
See this article for the results of last night's second session of The Great Boat Race. The result was really close with Cambridge easing just ahead of Tauranga.
- Top Cambridge Pair and 1st on X-Club with 68.99% - Eunice Eccles & Calum MacLean
- Top Tauranga Pair and 7th on X-Club with 64.25% - Stephen Dorrington & Dale Peddie
Looky Here ...
Congratulations to Eunice and Malcolm who won the Tauranga Intermediate tournament today taking them to the top of the Intermediate league after 4 rounds. As noted below, this is well deserved with both taking every opportunity to develop their game.
The Bridge Zone
The Bridge Zone is a half-hour slot on topical bridge news hosted by Barry Jones and Mereana Cullen of Hamilton Bridge Club.
Free FM, the community radio, is broadcasting on 89FM and the show will go out twice a week - Wednesdays at 10.30am and repeated Thursdays at 6.30am. The live show will only stretch around the Waikato as the volunteers undertaking the work are based in Hamilton so have learnt to put a radio show together and broadcast there.
NEW playing session on Tuesday nights 7-9pm
Just letting you know that our NEW Tuesday evening session has started! Our new learners will be playing at this time rather than coming along on a Wednesday night initially.
If you would like a chance to play some bridge in a relaxed atmosphere, please do come along! There will be a member available to play with anyone who does not have a partner so all you need to do is to pitch up at 7 on any Tuesday between now and the end of November.
From July, there will be a bridge tip presented at 7pm. This will either be a bidding recap or a card play tip.
The Great Boat Race
is coming up. Keep watching for more information!
