The inaugural Angie Shah Memorial Trophy competition took place on 15th April, offering a warm, convivial, and relaxed atmosphere in which to play bridge. The event was well attended, with 13 full tables, and thanks go to Sabine for organising and providing delicious doughnuts.

Sponsorship was generously provided by Angie’s husband Mahesh, who personally presented the trophy to the winners, Eric and Wendy Waterman, at the conclusion of the competition.

Following the event, Mahesh and several competitors enjoyed an authentic Southern Indian meal at Pallavas restaurant.
