On Sunday there was a good turn out to the Hamilton Intermediate and Junior Pairs. Although we had no Cambridge players on the Junior side we had 12 Cambridge members play on the Intermediate side. There were 35 pairs in total and we had some good results our way. Congratulations to Don MacPhearson and his Hamilton partner Richard for coming 3rd overall. And to Beth and Josie for coming 4th. Other placings in the top 10 were Nandy and Peter in 5th, Anne and Liz in 8th and Irenee and Leonie in 9th place.

Congratulations to Janet on her great play over the last 4 Wednesday nights! Janet played consistently with scores of

55%, 65%, 58% and 63%

Well Done Janet!!!

In second place was John Bull who took lessons last year. That's a terrific result. 

Also congratulations to Eileen Roberts on winning the Individual series on the other side of the room. Nice play Eileen!

Swiss Pairs is a slightly different format to our usual pairs format and we need to know who is playing. If you wish to play you need to enter this event. It is also important that your pair attend each of the three nights. (One sub permitted)

If you want to play and don't have a partner please phone Liz on 0276944438. If you want to play but have not entered on the clipboard at the club please contact Liz. Closing for entries 5pm Friday 26 March.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday night.

mycompasss.com (with 3 s's) has all sorts of interesting information about your bridge playing! Using the Quick Links allows you to see how much money you have left in your table money account. You can also search your name in the Compass NG Listings and see all your club results with graphs tracking your progress. On our website homepage there is a link to mycompasss.com.

It is with heavy heart I have to report the death of Harry Shields which occurred yesterday afternoon.

Harry was a keen bridge player and supported Cambridge Bridge Club for many many years and his company has been enjoyed by us all.

He lead a very active life here in NZ after being born and spending his youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

There were two winning teams for the 2021 Monday teams!

Finishing with the highest result of 84 VPs was Team Moore comprising Ian and Pam Moore and their team mates, Malcolm and Alison Smith from Hamilton Club.  Congratulations to the fabulous 4!

As the flurry over subs comes to an end we aim to settle into a pattern of weekend updates of your Compa$$ account where we record table-money ins and outs. The last step of that process is refreshing the mycompasss.com website where members can check their transactions and balances for both the current and the preceding months. To do this you'll need to create a login that will allow you to access your own account only. If there's anything you need to comment on you can email both Kevin and Michael from that screen.

... just kidding folks - it's in good hands and well under control. We're looking good with most accounts tanked up ready for 2021. There are a couple of dozen subs still to come in - a reminder that payment is requested by the end of January, please. We are pleased to make a MAJOR MAJOR Announcement here ...

To all those who are not at the beach.... Come along tomorrow night Wednesday 13 January for a night of bridge. It is a Drawn Pairs event so just come along and you will be paired with a partner for the night.

Congratulations to these members who have become Intermediate Players for 2021:
