Time to sign up for Fairlands 2019

The annual battle with Te Awamutu bridge club for the Fairlands Trophy is planned for 17 March in Te Awamutu.  If you are available to play that afternoon (exact time to be confirmed), please sign the clipboard in the club rooms.  We are seeking members at any stage in their bridge career to take part.  Te Awamutu does not have as many members at the moment and it makes it more fun to pitch teams of similar abilities.

Monday and Wednesday teams

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!

Cambridge hosts the first WAPs tournament of 2019 on Sunday 10 Feb

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:

Dot Sheridan - A Tribute

 

I first met Dot 9 years ago when she, along with John started Bridge lessons with me and a few others.  Sadly Bridge wasn’t John’s game (nor my husband’s as it turned out) but it was Dot’s.

This was the start of a great friendship.  Along with Barbara and Marilyn we spent many hours practising and trying to get the hang of this confusing game over the Christmas holidays the year we learnt.  And we did learn but we laughed more.  

Men at work

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,,,,

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

Bloody teens always on their screens

2018 AGM bids farewell to Vicki as President

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.
