is coming up. Keep watching for more information!

This weekend is the National Swiss pair event where 58 pairs are slogging it out.  This is right up there in terms of high standard and our Michael, who is playing with the charming rogue Malcolm Smith, is sitting in third place after 5 rounds.  GO MICHAEL AND MALCOLM! 

Every year, Cambridge puts its best foot forward to try and win the Waikato Interclub prize.  Failing that to get into  the top three teams in the respective sections of Open, Intermediate and Junior to play later in the year in Cambridge on 26 August. 

This year, the competition is on Sunday 24 June and our club will be represented by:

Open: Di & Jane, Kevin & Clare (Michael and Don reserve )

Intermediate: Ayako & Margaret F, Anne B & Jenny O

It was wonderful to see a larger field partake the intermediate champs once again.  The larger numbers were also due to some juniors taking part.  It was a nail biting leadership board going into the final night with about six players in the running.

Di had a winning week striking three successes in a row! Congratulations to her and Jenny who won the Te Awamutu restricted competition overall and in their section (Open - Intermediate) on Saturday. They had a winning morning and did enough in the afternoon to achieve a clear win.  In the same tournament, Marlene Morey and her partner came first in the Intermediate/ Intermediate section.Well done to both pairs!

Congratulations to our many winners at the Hamilton Ladies Day Intermediate competition! It was all very tight at the top!

In first place were Kay Dixon and Pam Halls with 116%.

Second were Liz Clayton and Ayako Imahashi just beating

Ruth Van Praegh and Dayelle Cole with 115.51% 

Meanwhile in the novice section Barb Wilson and Lesley Roberts came up trumps.

Fabulous to see Cambridge make its mark! Well done to everyone who took part.

Congratulations to Diane Emms who is our 2018 Monday night champion. She conquered a field of 39 who completed the champs.  Wonderful to see the field so strong and big this year. Thank you all for participating!

After 21 years of dedicated cleaning of our Clubrooms, Dayelle (ably assisted by husband Michael) has put away her brush and pan.

I was sorry to receive Dayelle's letter of resignation, but when I read that she had been doing this job for 21 years I was very impressed and didn't have the heart to try and talk her into carrying on with the wonderful job she has been doing.

Thank you Dayelle!

Are you confused about what your grade or rank means? And how do masterpoints work?

Attached is a copy of a booklet explaining Masterpoints. This was put together by the Canterbury Regional who has kindly let New Zealand Bridge share it with us.
