A Youth Bridge/Minibridge tournament was held at the club on Sunday December 8th, with 22 participants all playing together. As always the club volunteer support was excellent - Lisa Burland gathered volunteers and arranged for members to provide refreshments (drinks and food) for all the students. The winners were:
Bridge
1st N/S Shane Krueger/Brett Baumgartner
1st E/W Katarina Rance/Andrew Tobin
Minibridge
1st N/S Sebastian Grob/Simas Babeckas
1st E/W Joanna Santiago/Aimerie Doyon

Everyone had a great time. The event was really an introduction for the new players to see how bridge competitions were played, and for them to meet more students from other schools. We will be holding our usual mini bridge event at the Fairmont Southampton on the Sunday afternoon at the regional, at which time, we will be gaining interest for our sponsored trip to Montreal next July (22-26th).
Thanks to all our sponsors, and volunteers without whom the Youth Bridge development would not be possible.
