While Sue Peake and Clare took second honours at the Rotorua restricted in the morning, it was Eunice and Michael who had a consistent day of 3rd in the morning and too in the afternoon resulting in 2nd overall. Congratulations to them! Eunice will be an Open player in no time at this rate!

New students to the game have begun learning mini-bridge on Friday mornings.

Any queries email Mike Neels at quidge15@gmail.com or phone 021 179 1686.

Huge congratulations to Kim and Karen who won the CB SIxes Intermediate competition.  The pressure was on from after round one when they obtained the lead.

Congratulations to Mike and Ella who won the final WAPs  in Morrinsville today, which gave them enough to come second but not quite enough to win the overall trophy which was won by Lesley Quilty and Sonia Crawford of Morrinsville.
