This month's tip -
This year's Waikanae/Paraparaumu Charity tournament will take place on Sunday 28th June.
This year's charity is Kaibosh.
Detailed information can be found below (also available on the noticeboard).
Waikanae players are asked to please bring a plate and an item for donation to Kaibosh (see below):
The Bridge Advisory Group (BAG) is tasked by the Committee to select a team to represent the club in the Regional Club Championship and also the Quadrangular match where Waikanae compete against Otaki, Levin and Paraparaumu.
We have encouraged members to consider being part of the team in the forthcoming Regional Championship, 12th July. We received some interest but would have liked to see more.
For those members who wish to be considered for the Quadrangular match on 19th September BAG will be selecting 2 pairs from each main grade viz Open, Intermediate and Junior. To assist in the selection process BAG will look at current XG ratings but particular consideration will be made of current partnership results and most notably in this year's past tournaments and also forthcoming local tournaments (Charity Tournament 28th June, Waikanae Multigrade 2nd August and Novice/Junior Pairs 10th October).
The document is available on the Club website here.
