Intermediate Tournament 2025

Our annual Intermediate tournament took place on Sunday 28th September, and was a resounding success, with 19 tables and players ranging in grade from senior intermediate to novice.

I would like to thank everybody who contributed to a great day, but in particular:

• Ann Ricketts for her splendid organisation
• Isobel Ross for her patient and skilled directing
• Maureen Pratchett for scoring
• Roz King for the catering
• Derek Snelling for setting up and running the bar

together with a host of helpers involved in setting up before, and cleaning up afterwards, dealing, running the raffle (organised by Steve Ricketts and won by Lorraine Gaffaney) and especially in the kitchen (Mehegan Goodman, Shelley Ross , Di Andrews, Chris Carlyon and several others), and behind the bar (Richie Rama).

The event was won by the Paraparaumu pairing of Jane Bradbury and Dale Wills.  Julian Kissock and Maxine Keay from Palmerston North were second, and our own Eileen Queree and Lorraine Gaffaney placed third.  

Additional session prizes went to Brian O'Sullivan and Janet Dobbie (Wellington) for the morning, and Linda Couch and Lyn Dash (Paraparaumu) for the afternoon.

Many congratulations to all.
