This event raised a very healthy sum of £130 for UNICEF.  Many thanks for your contributions.

Congratulations to Derrick McClelland who won this year's Individual Championship in a close finish:  Derrick averaged 60.98%; Rufus and Andy were joint 2nd with 60.34%, John Sansom was 4th with 60.32%, and David Thomas was 5th with 60.21%. 

The new "I" season begins on Wed Jan 4th.

Congratulations to John Sansom and Richard Jephcott, who won the 2011 Pairs Championship by the narrowest of margins over Ross Garratt and Mel Downing.  Both pairs played 14 times, and John and Richard averaged 63.14% whilst Ross and Mel averaged 63.03%.  Derrick McClelland and Ray Miller were close behind in 3rd place on 61.34%. 

The Christmas Party was held on Wed 7th December: there were 13 full tables + 5 in the Try-Duplicate, and it was generally agreed to be a great success.  Many thanks to those who made it so, particularly Pam, Jane and Susan for the food and Jimmy and Rufus hosting the two sections.

Pictures can be viewed in Gallery.

The Championship Teams was held on Wed 26th October and the winners were Andy Cullen, Rufus Ulyet, Marian Wilcox & Sue Evans.

The Mixed Pairs was won by Pam Pearce and Nick Forward, with Dick and Jane Rutter in 2nd place and Maureen Hannah and Jimmy Ledger in 3rd place.

This message board has been set up for people to post short- or long-term requests for partners, though there is no harm in using it for other questions such as "How do I make this grand slam...?"  - no guarantee we will have the answer!

You may prefer to contact Mike (mhv@rgsw.org.uk) for an emailshot to go round - I have managed to pair some people up by this method, but I can't always be able to act fast enough...
