Well done to Josie, who achieved an average of nearly 60% over the four weeks in May that comprised the intermediate championship. Josie has this year taken over the evening bridge learner classes and so she has been spending many hours at the club these last few months!  It isn’t easy heading into the final session and hanging on to the lead but she kept her cool! And I am sure she is grateful to her four partners Don Wilson, Margaret, Sue Aitken and Vicki..

Congratulations to Sue and Steve who not only were the best non-open pair but came second overall at the Cambridge WAPS.  They were consistently good all day coming third both sessions with 60.4% and 58.59%.

Cambridge Bridge Club players featured very well in the Katikati Intermediate tournament on Sunday. Nandy Costa and Denise Wybrow won a session and came third overall in fine style averaging 59% in a large field of 22 tables. Don Macpherson and Irenee Stewart came third in a session also. 
 

The three night Quilty Tray in Matatata was well supported by Cambridge players -well done to the Whyte Team who came third overall. Kevin Whyte, John Mills, Kate McFadyen, Gwyn Lobb and Clare Coles. 

This is a great opportunity for players in their first and second year  see poster attached

Supported online play is like having a friend at the table, offering support whenever you need it. Imagine it’s like using Zoom; you can see and talk to each other while playing cards, and with an experienced player available to offer advice or answer questions.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Congratulations to The Old Duffers who not only won the coveted David’s Emporium team dress-up (despite using some dodgy voting tactics that almost got them disqualified) but also held on to their lead and won this year’s Back to the future teams event.  There were five teams in contention for the final three rounds but The Old Duffers held on with the Clowns coming second and Bad Aass third. It was a fun competition; thank you to all the participants who made it that way.

“Welcome to New Players” 
events on Wednesday evening starting May 21st and Monday morning starting June 9th will now be just regular pairs events. 

The Old Duffers did not live up to their name and off to a great start, winning three out of three matches. The question is will they also be dress -up winners? 

Team 7 clubs has also got off to a thumping start having two big wins to take them to the top of the leaderboard for now.

Great to see everyone getting into the spirit of the event. 
 
Each team will get to vote best dressed on final night to win David’s emporium vouchers.

Please find attached the final teams, which have been adjusted slightly so that each team has at least one intermediate or open player. 

Thank you to all those who are pitching in to help complete a team.

It is essential that you either find a sub or let Clare know on 021762543 if you are unable to play as full teams are an absolute requirement each week!

It is with sadness that I need to inform you that Sheila Wardlaw has suddenly passed away. I will always recall Sheila’s warm and friendly disposition as well as her quick wit.

Sheila, who lived in Aberdeen, Scotland with her loving husband Doug, was very active and always walked everywhere according to friends, Anne and David Blewden who have visited them in their home country.
