Game Schedule (click here) 541-0551
We are a members' club and the principal bridge club on our beautiful island. We run an open, stratified duplicate game on Monday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Thursday evening and Friday afternoon.
A strong field of 15 pairs competed for the 2017 non-life Masters. Congratulations to Kathy Keane and Mike Viotti who won the first session and held on to their lead to run out overall winners. George Correia and Caroline Svensen put in two good sessions for second place, and Ellen Davidson and John Luebkemann close behind them in third. Well done all.
Congratulations to Hugh Gillespie and Catherine Kennedy, winners of the Novice Pairs competition for 2017. (Photo when we catch them!) Six pairs competed,with Linda Manders and Wendell Emery achieving a creditable second place.
Congratulations to the team of Jean Johnson, Margie Way, David Sykes, Ed Betteto and Fabian Hupe, winners of the Open Teams title for 2017. A very close contest, with the junior team of Ellen Davidson, John Luebkemann, George Correia and Linda Abend putting in a very strong performance to tie with the team of Jane Smith, Gertie Barker, Rachael Gosling and Simon Giffen for second place, just two victory points off the lead. Nine teams competed, and every team achieved at least one match victory along the way. Well done all.
