MARCH  NEWSLETTER from Ian Moore - Club Captain

Vicki

Junior Champion

Congratulations to our new Junior Champion Sue Keating – well done Sue! Sue was closely followed by Brian Graham-Smith in second and Ailsa Henderson third.  Thank you to all other Junior players who made the competition possible by ensuring we had more than the required number of tables (5) each night required throughout the series.

Come and play our tournament and pit your bridge skills against other juniors in the Waikato Bays, enjoy playing and meeting other bridge players in our region. Last year we had 16 tables - 64 players with only 12 of them from Cambridge – let’s do better this year Cambridge! Our Junior Tournament is the second in the Waikato Bays annual tournaments.

To all other club members we need your help with maintaining Cambridge’s reputation as the best providers of tournament food in the district. Please use the clipboard to register how and what you can help in the kitchen and providing food. 

Beginner Lessons 

These started four weeks ago on Tuesday evening (Kim and Anne) and Thursday morning (Pam and Josie). There are over 20 in both sessions and all are fully paid up participants.

Thanks to all our members who joined the Bridge Crawl, dropped mini-posters in letter boxes and encouraged friends and family to learn this great game. Thanks also to the helpers who come every week and sit at the table patiently explaining the intricacies of bidding and playing to our eager learners. 

Improver Lessons 

There are still opportunities for extra lessons to improve your bridge.  You are encouraged to attend even if you haven’t attended the previous lessons, no need to register - just turn up a bit before 7pm.
