On Thursday players joined in sharing Allison Smith's special Birthday with a cake.  Allison's daughter had also sent her some lovely flowers

Perhaps you had to dodge around the scaffolding on a recent Wednesday. In a busy day Cambridge Roofing swooped in and refurbished the flattish roof of the street-side extension. After 30 years and a couple of heat pump units installed it was past used-by date. Clayton's team replaced some purlins, re-mounted the aircon units, and redid the flashings to see us right for another 30. A couple of pics:

32 pairs showed up for our Junior tournament to play and enjoy the Bridge and feast on the generous catering from our members.

Although Cambridge members didn't win the overall competition we had some successes with:

Sue Keating and Els Cochrane - best Novice pair in their first competition

It has been a pleasing start to the 2023 bridge year with all sessions showing an increase in numbers from last year. Currently we have 3 events running including the Junior, Intermediate and Open individual championships. The Junior event is on Wednesday evenings with the Open and Intermediate, starting on Monday evenings. I would encourage members to arrange partners and play in these events.

TOURNAMENTS

Cambridge Club’s Junior and Novice tournament is on Saturday 15 April.

We have started a new bridge year and it is pleasing to see an increase in the table numbers. There are still many members not playing and you can always find a partner by contacting the partnership steward if you wish to play.

Our partnership stewards this year are:

The 2022 bridge year has come to an end and it was particularly pleasing to see the playing numbers gradually increase after several setbacks due to Covid.

A special thanks to our retiring president, Allison Vince, who has helped us navigate through these challenging times and welcome to Paul Phillips our new President.
