We are a members club and the principal bridge club on our beautiful island. We run an open, stratified duplicate game on Monday afternoon and evening, Wednesday morning and Friday evening.
Congratulations to Paul Thompson and Devam Sukhija who put together two excellent sessions to win the Non-Life Master Pairs held on Tuesday 15th and Thursday 17th June.
Nine pairs competed in the Junior Pairs held over consecutive Wednesdays, 17 and 24 March. Lorna Anderson and Margaret Kirk had a great second session to move from third place at halfway to win the event with 83 matchpoints. In second place on 79.5 were Diana Downs and Jane Hulse with Sue and Peter Adhemar in third place on 76. Alex Crampton and Helen Hill were a very commendable fourth on 74 in what is their first year of playing bridge.
Congratulations to the winning team of Vera Petty, Roman Smolski, Bill Tucker, Marge Way and David & Sally Sykes, who triumphed in the Open Teams Championship held on 10th and 14th May .
A field of 16 pairs contested the sponsorship trials over two sessions on 23 & 25th February.
The overall winners were Bill Tucker and Alan Douglas on 200.5 matchpoints closely followed by Roman Smolski and Vera Petty on 196.5. Craig Hutton and Steve Ball were joint third with David Cordon and Julia Lunn on 177.5 and these two pairs completed the qualifiers in the open field.
