 Ripley Bridge Club Member Successes |
 Click on this item to see a list of recent member successes
If you know of any member who has been succesful in an outside bridge competition, please let the secretary know so he can include it on the list.
The picture on the left shows the winners of the Cattanach Quaich. The Quaich itself is being presented by Mrs Cattanach. I'm sure you recognise the ne'er-do-wells surrounding her.
The same team of 4 also came second in the Norfolk/Suffolk One day Swiss Teams at Thetford in May 2009. |

| RIPLEY REVELS |
The Ripley Revels are weekends away for bridge, sightseeing and enjoyment, not necessarily in that order. These were originally organised by Jack Flynn. Since his recent passing away, I believe Linda Hubbold, with help from Richard Horsley is organising them. While primarily for members of Ripley Bridge Club, they are open to others.
Click on this item for examples of past revels. The picture below was taken at Widnes in 2006. |
