Well done also to both John Donbavand and his partner and Karen Eriksen and Jude Lucas who recorded top 10 finishes in a field of 38 pairs.
Junior/Novice Tournament
We held our first - and slightly experimental - Junior/Novice tournament on Saturday 10th October. Feedback afterwards from a number of the participants suggests that the afternoon was a success: certainly much was learned.
The half-day event attracted 5 tables and was played under our "Monday Rules" - with the exception that doubling for penalties was permitted.
The winners of the competition were the Paraparaumu Novice pair of Greg and Margie du Bern: many congratulations to them.
In 2nd place were Liesbet and Phil Gavey. Marg Gott and Steve MacAskill were 3rd, with Nina and Dave Netherclift 4th - clearly a good day for husband and wife pairings, taking three of the top four places!
I'd like to thank Ruth Law for rising splendidly to the challenges of organising the day, also Derek Snelling for his calm and good humoured work as Director, Di Andrews who did a great job in the kitchen and Chris Farrow for helping me with the scoring after a number of "wrinkles" arose late in the day!
Forty Years On
On Friday 9th October 40 years ago, Graham Cheater joined the Waikanae Bridge Club, an anniversary celebrated after play yesterday evening with a glass of bubbles.
