The results were available before the raffle had been drawn, with Hilary Kirkland dancing with joy to win a painting by Judy Meats.

The winners were Toni Smith and Steve Fordham. Runners up Keith Spencer and Phil Meats.  Closest to 50% were Sue Wright and Janet Franks.

Thanks must go to our organisers Jean McKee and AnnMarie Campbell.   Also to our directors, Dot and Steve, Phil and Keith and Tony and Margaret, and Allan and Hilary and Andrew for running the raffle.

And to our venues which gave excellent service as well as donating raffle prizes.

£517 was raised for Beaumond House Hospice, which was amazing, thanks to everyone.

Another hugely enjoyable day playing bridge in Nottingham's finest cafes.  Did we notice the drizzle? No sirree.  Many had been before, but there were cafe bridge newbies too.  Electronic scoring with BriAn meant that results were available well before the raffle had finished.  Three pairs were within one percent for the top places.  Well done to the Winners: Clare Batten & Graham Brindley; Second: Mike Willoughby & Richard Jephcott; and Third: Ray & Julia Furlonger.   Thanks to all our helpers, Keith Spencer, John Edwards, Toni Smith, Steve Fordham, Dick Milne, Mike Nailard. And to Ann Adkin and Kathryn Grochowska for running the raffle.   Money raised this time was £645.89, which will again go to Beaumond House Hospice in Newark.

Nottingham Cafe Bridge was run for the third year on Tuesday 14th April.  Again it was a sell-out, with 80 players rotating between 5 city centre cafes and restaurants through the day.  The event is very popular and has a great 'buzz'.

We all met at Couture, part of the Contemporary Art Gallery, for a welcome and introduction, before moving to one of the venues, Dino's, All Bar One, Missoula, Couture or Jamie's Italian.  After the first set of 6 boards, we rotate to another venue, where we play a second set, then have lunch.  Three more rotations, and then all gather at Jamie's for a glass of wine and a raffle, while the scoring was finalised, using BriAn electronic scoring.  The result was soon on the website (click this link), and prizes awarded, for each of four sections.

The overall winners were  Margaret Parkinson and Norma Keaton, well done to them!

Section A winners were Alysson McLintock & Dick Milne.

Section B winners Dave Quinton & Pam Maguire.

Section C went to Helen Lister & Mary Dade.

The final outcome is that around £700 was raised for Beamond House hospice in Newark.  Well done everyone!
