Several Summertown members did well in Abingdon Bridge Club's Blue-Pointed Swiss Pairs competition held on 9 February. In particular, Ruth Kim and Howard Arnes won the non-expert prize, John Deech & partner were second, and Sandra and Krys were fourth. Congratulations to all. 

Christopher and Erica who started the New Year off with a bang by winning the Sim Pairs with a very excellent 65.12%. Robert and Krys came second on 64.89%. It couldn't have been closer between third and fourth with Roger and Paul just edging Diane and Alison by 0.01% on 63.14%. Those are the results scored within the 36 pairs playing in the club. Nationally, with a few hundred or thousand pairs playing, the results always look a little different. The top four pairs in the club are currently the same but with Robert and Krys having dropped down to fourth place. Well done to them all. The final percentages and placings may still change as more results are uploaded.
