Congratulations to Margie Way and Misha Novakovic who ran out winners of the 2022 Open Pairs Championship. 15 pairs took part, with Ed Betteto and David Sykes having a good lead at lunchtime, but an excellent second session gave Margie and Misha the title by just one matchpoint. In third place, by a whisker of 0.01 of a matchpoint, were Elizabeth Mckee and Linda Pollett. Thanks to all who took part in making the event a success.
Congratulations to the team of Elizabeth McKee, Ed Betteto, John Burville and Bill Pollett, coming through as winners on the last round to take the title. Seven teams competed - thanks to all who took part to make the championship an enjoyable and successful club occasion.
On 19th October 2022 we celebrated Greta's 90th birthday in the usual way with Prosecco and birthday cake. 36 people were playing, our post-Covid record, and everyone enjoyed the occasion. Also playing were our three other nonagenarians, Tony Saunders, Dorry Lusher and Diana Diel - what a great quartet!
Congratulations to Elizabeth McKee and Linda Pollett on winning the Ladies' Pairs Championship 2022. A very tight finish, decided on the last board, with Jane Smith and Gertie Barker taking second place only half a matchpoint behind. Thanks to all 12 pairs who took part.
On Monday afternoon, we all enjoyed a lovely cake, baked by Lynanne in celebration of Peter's birthday.
The first Club Championship after the long hiatus of Covid was held on Saturday 23 April when a small field contested the Non-Life Masters Championship. After two hard-fought sessions, the championship was secured by Marion and Duncan Silver, pipping Rosie Smith and Nikki Boyce to the post by less than one board.
Congratulations to the champions, and thanks to all who came out to play in the event.
