Thanks to Sue Riley and Rachael Loomes for organising a fantastic lunch and Lyn Hamill for the sweeps and to everyone else who helped on the day. Agnes Cootes won the most elegant hat prize with a stylish concoction from Vinnies. It was good to see so many new players in the supervised section enjoying the day and the bridge. The winners of the supervised section were Arthur, Jenny, Paul and Judy.
The
winners of this event were the Baker Team with Michael and Margaret Draper, Lynn Baker and Yvonne Perkins. The runners up were the Duignan team with Sue Riley, Ada Duignan and Rachael and Maurice Loomes. This was played over three weeks in an unusual format to allow for all 8 teams to play each other. Well done to all and thanks to director Colin Mitchell.
