Cambridge hosted 19 tables on Sunday; the director's nightmare of a table number but Dallas and Mike worked their wonder and everyone soon settled in to a day's bridge while the sun shone outside! Thank you to Vicki and Liz who were on standby but got the joy of clearing up morning tea instead! 

The themes for the two team events have been announced!

Monday night starting the 25th February. C for Cambridge. Using the letter C as a starter come up with some C ideas for dress up!

Wednesday night starting the 8th May  Dots and Spots.  

If you havn' t a team organised for either of these events start thinking now!  Clare can help if you are stuck for members.

Let the fun begin!

A powerful new tool has been added to the handrecords available on this site.

Do join us in the Cambridge club rooms for the first of the six competitions that makes up the Waikato Area Pairs.  Players of all levels are welcome.  There is a (small) monetary prize for the best non-Open pair as well as the overall winners on the day, as well as of course the coveted A point to play for each session!

Cambridge members attending are asked to bring something tasty along to share with our guests for morning tea.

All you need to bring is:

The NZB gradings have been adjusted and I am pleased to be able to announce the following:

It was too tempting not to capture this moment after the AGM.... and on Wednesday members worked out what Philip, Grant and Kevin were thinking,,,,

Have you put your bet on yet?

When is my wife's birthday?

Three wise men? Yeah Right!

Eenie, Menie, Minie....Where's Mo?

Bloody teens always on their screens

After five years as President, the club was sorry and sad to see Vicki step down in her leadership role. Anne (2018 vice-president and 2019 President) summarised perfectly Vicki's many achievements.  These included rejuvenating the club rooms, the 80+ High Tea, growing every bridge session, baking cakes to recognise special birthdays, providing even handed leadership, being inclusive of all our members and being kind and caring - including visiting those who have been sick at home or hospital.

With no end to the rain, it was a perfect day to play bridge in Rotorua!

Top Honours went to Herman and Yuzhong who had a huge morning wth 67% and did enough in the afternoon to be the overall winners.

The committee has confirmed that the painting donated by Kay Walsh and painted by her, which was not put back on the wall after the repainting and upgrade to the clubrooms, will not be rehung. This follows consultation with foundation and longstanding members whose contribution to the club over many years is most appreciated.  Of 21 members contacted only five wished the painting to be re-hung.

As a result of this the committee has decided that there are two options for the painting:
