Last year this event didn't go ahead because of Covid 19. This year we will cross our fingers and hope for the best!!! 

On Saturday we hosted the Cambridge Junior Pairs which is part of the Waikato Bays Junior League. We had players from 12 different clubs and that included 11 novices. We were also able to be host to 6 players who played in a tournament for the first time.

Congratulations to "our" Anna Kalma (now very honorary affiliate member of Cambridge), and Karen Martelletti - both of our region - who, along with Sam Coutts of Dunedin and John Skipper of Christchurch have been elected to the Board of NZ Bridge. It was re-election in the case of Karen and John who are current members.

Congratulations to Anna Kalma and Richard Solomon who won the second of the WAPs series on Sunday. They achieved an excellent score of 68% in the morning followed by another great score of 65% in the afternoon.

In 6th= place were Pam and Ian Moore.

A special thank you to Julie Rope and Alison Jenkins who played as an extra pair. 

On Sunday there was a good turn out to the Hamilton Intermediate and Junior Pairs. Although we had no Cambridge players on the Junior side we had 12 Cambridge members play on the Intermediate side. There were 35 pairs in total and we had some good results our way. Congratulations to Don MacPhearson and his Hamilton partner Richard for coming 3rd overall. And to Beth and Josie for coming 4th. Other placings in the top 10 were Nandy and Peter in 5th, Anne and Liz in 8th and Irenee and Leonie in 9th place.

Congratulations to Janet on her great play over the last 4 Wednesday nights! Janet played consistently with scores of

55%, 65%, 58% and 63%

Well Done Janet!!!

In second place was John Bull who took lessons last year. That's a terrific result. 

Also congratulations to Eileen Roberts on winning the Individual series on the other side of the room. Nice play Eileen!

Swiss Pairs is a slightly different format to our usual pairs format and we need to know who is playing. If you wish to play you need to enter this event. It is also important that your pair attend each of the three nights. (One sub permitted)

It is with heavy heart I have to report the death of Harry Shields which occurred yesterday afternoon.

Harry was a keen bridge player and supported Cambridge Bridge Club for many many years and his company has been enjoyed by us all.

He lead a very active life here in NZ after being born and spending his youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
