2016 CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to Marelle Irvine and Judy Bowman who took out this years Club Championship.

In the end they had a comfortable margin of some  5.5% over the joint second pairs of Jay Moore and Val Heferen, and Chris Cox and Di Bates (defending champions).

Hearing the stories in the aftermath of the event there were many tales of chances "just missed" or opportunities "not taken" in the stress of the final. However in the long run it was agreed that the winners were worthy champions

2016 SPARKES CUP

Congratulations to our 2016 Sparkes Cup winners Sandra Capper and Maureen Wright.

In one of the largest fields in the history of the cup Sandy and Maureen finished with  a very creditable 64.42% to nudge out Marelle Irvine and Brian McCarney.

The event is run as  a Howell movement and had the director searching madly for movement cards to cover the 7½ tables who contested the event.

CLUB TROPHIES CHAMPIONSHIP

NATIONAL BANK CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY

While the Club has conducted championships for many years the committee saw a need for a perpetual trophy and in the early 1990's a group including Nancy Thompson, Greville Burrell and June Bleechmore approached the Club's bankers (The National Bank) for support.

The Bank agreed to this request and gave the sum of $100 with the proviso that any cost beyond that amount must be borne by the Club.

The trophy is competed for annually following a qualifying session from which the leading 5 pairs from North/South and East/West compete in a Howell movement final thus providing one winning pair. The trophy is normally presented at the end of the year celebrations.

 

 

CHAMPIONSHIP CONSOLATION

BARBARA GREEN TROPHY

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS CONSOLATION

Early 2000's Barbara Green saw the need for a trophy for those who did not qualify for the Club Championships final and who competed in a consolation event. Because this is normally run as a Mitchell movement resulting in winners for both north/south and east/west two trophies were donated.

To qualify for this trophy pairs must have competed in the Club Championship qualifying round and, having failed to qualify for the final, compete in a consolation session. While this session is normally open to all players not involved in the Championships the winners must come from pairs who did compete in the qualifying session.

SPARKES CUP

This trophy was donated by John and Patricia Sparkes who were stalwarts of the Club over many years. They both held executive positions, both were Directors and John was also the Masterpoint Secretary.

At the time the Club was growing and playing on Monday afternoon as well as Wednesday evenings. The Wednesday players included many who worked during the day and this was their only chance to win a major Club event. Because table numbers were small the event was specified to be conducted as a Howell movement thus resulting in one winning pair. The rules for the conduct of this event are quite specific in the it must be a Howell movement with only one winning pair.
