LATEST RESULTS & NEWS
Wednesday 16th May - Continuing the quiet week with only 6 tables with new partners Graham & Alan leading the field with 58%. A very flat night for scores had the top 8 all in the 50's Jacqueline & Mary had a good finish to claim se cond place pushing Ken & Margaret into 3rd. Jenny & Marlene had the last of the points in 4th. Thanks to everyone.
Tuesday 15th May- 4½ Tables with Ken Smith & Chaz Robertson taking first place and almost a free session to boot with 68.12%. In second place were Peter & Margaret Savage with 60.14% and in third place were Margaret Robinson & Jenny Sellars with 59.03%. Tanks to everyone who attended and enjoyed a good nights bridge.
Monday 14th May - 6½  tables this afternoon, with Linda Woodhouse & Franciene Scott taking top honours with 59.33%. In Second place, but only just - in a partnership which only came into existance two minutes from the commencement of play, were Chris Mullins & Simon Sellars with 58.92%. Third place went to Graham Wells & Marjorie Mound with 57.42%.
Wednesday 9th May - 6½ tables tonight. Graham & Ian took the honours - again like most sessions on the last couple of boards of the evening just managing to overtake Maggie & Ellis who had a great evening leading all the way till the last round. Bill & Simon took 3rd place just ahead of Margaret & Brian who took the last of the points.
Tuesday handicap competition update - after 4 rounds of 9 (with a qualifying minimum of playing at least 4) in our first ever Tuesday competition.
Margaret & Peter Savage are the current leaders with almost 59% closely followed by Barbara Sharman & Karl Turner on 56.38% Doreen Hartshorn & Jenny Sellars on 56.27%. The 5th placed pair Marjorie Mound & Sue Ball have already qualified by playing in 4 events and have 56.04% - so all keep a watch out for them. 
Tuesday 8th May - Quite a good session tonight with 6 tables competing. As happens a lot these days the pair that had been in front all evening snatched defeat from victory on the last board - unlucky for Karl & Barbara who managed a session average of nearly 61% to finish 2nd just 1% behind the overall winners Stan & Gary. Peter and Margaret finished 3rd with nearly 59% and seem to be on a roll at the moment. Last of the points went to Jill & Rosemary. Thanks to all who took part especially Simon who again stood down at the last minute and ran the event.
Monday Handicap Session 9 - update after 4 sessions (with 9 in total and a qualifying requirement of 4 events) are that Bill & Cheryl are in prime spot with 58.19%.Lying 2nd are David Mann & Eileen Broadhead with 55.85% with 3rd and 4th close behind. Mary Kenworthy & Wendy Britt with 55.63% and Sue Ball & Barbara Matthews with 55.56% - all to play for at this stage
Monday 7th May - 61/2 tables today - pretty good for a bank holiday. Maybe something to do with very little bridge due elsewhere !
Bill & Cheryl who have not visited much have started to become regular Monday afternoon players and had an excellent session to finish top of the pile with 58.3%. Simon & Jenny also had a good session as well to finish 2nd with 57.4%.Mary & Wendy were back to form to finish 3rd with 55.3% and the last of the points went to David Dempsey & Audry Bottka - welcome visitors from the Beauchief bridge club.
Friday sessions going well - any help from our members would be appreciated for the next few weeks to assist our sessions and get them ready for the big world of duplicate.
