Happy times at Olwen's. For once the sun didn't shine but somehow it didn't matter. Very many thanks to Olwen for hosting this event.

Congratulations again to Paul Burgess who kept this trophy firmly in his grip after another fine year, aided and abetted as usual by his regular partner Olwen Symons. Paul scored an average of 59.79% marginally ahead of Olwen on 59.45%.

A three way tie between, Cecile Pothecary, Alan Rodgman, and Mary Rodgman who all improved their performance over 2014 by 3.40%. Congratulations to them all. At least the engravers were happy!

As always a most enjoyable evening held on a perfect summer evening. Very many thanks to Wendy and Jeff Evans for hosting this annual event.

Congratulations go to Paul Burgess who has now completed a hat trick of wins to retain the 'Player of the Year' trophy for another year thanks to his great consistency, with a little help from his excellent regular partner, Olwen Symons. Paul achieved an average score of 58.73% in 2014.

Congratulations go to the inaugural winner of the 'Most Improved Player' trophy, Suzi McArthur, whose average score in 2014 was a very impressive 7.69% higher than in 2013.

Congratulations to Maurice & Jane Sanders on winning the Melbourne Cup at their bridge club near Brisbane, with a score of 59.7% from a field of 18 pairs, gaining 0.54 Green Points in the process. The day started at 9.00 am with three hours of bridge, followed by lunch and drinks, and then the race was watched on television. No news on whether they backed the winning horse! They certainly do things in style in Australia. Nice to see Chew Valley Bridge Club members keeping the flag flying down under.

This event was held on a perfect Midsummer Evening in a wonderful setting. Very many thanks to Sally Burke for all her hard work in hosting and for a most memorable occasion.

Congratulations to Paul Burgess who won 'Player of the Year 2013' with an average score of 59.82%.

Midsummer Day didn't quite live up to its name but a great time was had by all. A very big thank you to Suzi and Dayrell McArthur for kindly hosting this event.
