This is a fun and relaxed event where pairs all over New Zealand play at exactly the same time and are scored across the country. At the end of the night you receive a booklet that explains each board in detail and what you should or should not have done!!! Come along and enjoy a night of bridge.

Clare and Kevin have had a magical run this year in the National Rubber Competition. Normally played face-to-face at Congress, all regional matches have been played on BBO this year.

From the Tauranga boat club.....

The starting gun has fired and the race is underway ! 

Tauranga has found its foils and is at the 54.23% mark with Cambridge Dragging its anchor and trailing slightly behind at the 51.19% Mark.

A slight change to the way this is calculated this year.  We are now using the X Club handicap system which takes into account the strength of the partnership, the opposition and the field. We average the handicap scores for each club and use that as the total for the club.

 On Sunday Beth Kingsley and Josie van Weerd won our Intermediate tournament. Many congratulations to them. A 70 percent score in the afternoon clinched the win for them!

It was lovely to see 12 tables of Junior members and their partners on Sunday afternoon.

We played Bringo and answered Clare's bridge questions for fun spot prizes.

Just an amendment to Anne's post:

Please enter on our Cambridge website (not NZB) on the Homepage under Upcoming Events. Click on Junior Restricted Fun Afternoon and enter your pair.

Come along and enjoy the fun, Liz

Members will have received an email today recommending we all get used to playing on-line at BBO (BridgeBase Online). Additional full instruction on what it's all about can be found on the Ashburton website .. thanks to Mary Buckland and others.

A fun series with 10 teams taking part, including two teams from our neighbouring clubs.

The winners though were a Cambridge team the Queens! Well done to them. Great dressing up too!

This afternoon saw the annual Fairlands battle contested between Te Awamutu and Cambridge. The new Club Captain for Te Awamutu, Debz Morris, had done a grand job of rounding up the troops. With 10 pairs from each club in a tournament that has been running since 1988, tensions were high. Actually the mood was most convivial and our visitors were just lovely to play against.
