| Children in Need Simultaneous Pairs - 15 November 2010 |
Congratulations to everyone, and particularly Sara, on the most important result of the evening which was, of course, the raising of the fantastic amount of £1031.50 for Children in Need. This was a huge sum given that numbers were down to 16 tables this year compared with 19 and more in the last two or three years, and we once again broke the record for the amount raised by the club. Thank you very much to you all for your generosity which will go towards helping children in this country in all kinds of ways.
On the more mundane bridge front it was exceedingly well done to Trevor & Krishan on a fine victory in the club with 66.8%, followed by Lorna & Alastair, Roger & Paul and Steph & Steven all over 60%. The full club results can be found on our results page as usual.
Trevor & Krishan maintain their top position in the club also when looking at the scores nationally on the ECats website - click anywhere in this box to see this.

| Roger Van Noorden RIP |
Update: Baroness Deech, the wife of Roger's long-term bridge partner and close friend John Deech, has written an obituary.
-----
Sadly and shockingly, Roger Van Noorden died suddenly on 12th April, after a very brief illness.
He had only been a member of Summertown for a relatively short period but we will miss him greatly, not just for his bridge (excellent though it was), but also for his unfailingly modest, friendly and courteous behaviour to his partners and opponents.
Our thoughts and sympathies go to his widow, family and friends.

| Summertown in the NICKO |
Both Summertown teams have now been knocked out of the 2010 NICKO (the National Inter-Club Knockout Competition) but did quite well to beat some good teams along the way.

| The Wessex League 2009/10 |
Our "A" team continued its winning form and on 22nd April 2010 beat Thame B 14 - 6. They have won all their matches and are winners of Division 3.
Our "B" team lost their last match of the season against Thame "B" 2 - 18. Unfortunately, that means they will be relegated to Division 4 next season, finishing in 7th place.
Our "C" team lost their last match of the season 3 - 17, playing Aylesbury "C" on 28th April 2010. This means that, unfortunately, they have been relegated and will play in Division 5 next season.
See the Wessex League page (button on the left) for all fixtures, results and match reports.

| Winter Ladder and Ascenders' Competition 2009-10 |
Congratulations to Lorna and Alastair who have jointly won the Club's Winter Ladder competition. The average of their 10 best scores was 64.36%. With the result they got last Monday they just pipped Roger van Noorden at the post: he had been leading for a while but finished 3rd with an average of 63.16. Well done all of you! Full results for the ladder can be found on the website by clicking on Competitions in the left-hand menu and then on Winter Ladder 2009-10.
We also have the results of the Winter Ascenders' Competition. This is calculated by comparing your 10 best scores with your 10 best in the 2008-09 Winter Ladder. Well done to Clare Lim who improved her score by 7.17%! She was closely followed by Carol Benzie with an improved score of 6.92%.

| Haiti Disaster Fund Event |
Thank you to everyone for supporting the Haiti Disaster Fund last night, 25th January 2010 - we raised £453.00 which has been sent off to Ecats Charity Bridge Account.
A special thank you to Erica Sheppard who, after Krys Kazmierczak went home, managed to direct and score for the evening and she still managed to win the event with Christopher Sheppard. A magnificent achievement! Speedy recovery to Krys, too.

Congratulations, John & Melinda!

| Children in Need Sim Pairs |
Summertown raises £1000 for CiN!!!
Many thanks to everyone who turned out this evening 16th November for our heat of the annual Children in Need Sim Pairs. The evening saw a new attendance record of 19-and-a-half tables, but more importantly we set a new record high of £1000 collected through a combination of table money and two raffles, beating last year's record total of £768 handsomely. Will this be the third year in a row that Summertown has raised more than any other club in the country? To check donations from other clubs click here. Particular thanks to Sara Alden for organising the evening, those who helped her in selling raffle tickets, everyone who generously gave donations of raffle prizes, Sara's friend who gave of her time to make the special cake, Maison Française for donating the usual cost of renting the Salon, Krys Kazmierczak for directing, Erica Sheppard for scoring and all those others who contributed in whatever way. Children's charities are the winners tonight.
