| Congratulations to prize winners |
Our quarterly handicapped pairs was played on 26 June 2009. You will see there are two scores given for this date: the "raw" results and those adjusted to take account of your average scores over the last quarter. Congratulations to Gill Brader & Tony Killian, who won E/W but were narrowly beaten to the prize by Joan Rivett & Julian Blogh, who had a slightly higher score.
Ann Marchetti has won the quarterly ladder prize. A new ladder starts next week.
As this is the end of our year we also present our annual brilliancy prize to the pair scoring the highest percentage during the year. Among several notable performances were Terry Lawes & Noel Connolly, a scratch partnership, who scored 70.32% on 27 March and Ashlyn Smith & Sue Bell who were front runners all year on 70.59%, scored on 21 November, until they were pipped at the post on 19 June by Janet Allan & Colin Dale scoring 71.39%.

| Bridge Verse |
Frustrated bridge players have often resorted to verse - or worse - to relieve their feelings. "Goodbye to bridge" describes how we all feel on occasions. We all know how to bid and play - but stray from the path of righteousness all too often: "My way" warns partner of our frailties. "Slow play" is a director's lament - though Jean and Sandy have never gone as far as the director in the verse.
