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.
Congratulations to the team of Lane Martin, John Luebkermann, Sharon Shanahan and Claude Guay for winning the 2016 Junior Teams Championship. Four teams took part over the two sessions - the winners started with a bang with their first match and then led the field for the rest of the competition. Well done to them and to all competitors for a pleasant and friendly event.
Congratulations to David Sykes and Charles Hall on winning the Open Pairs title for 2016 with a 61.5% game, just ahead of first round leaders John Burville and David Cordon who closed out at 60%.
