Many congratulations to the star performers at the All Day Bridge who were:
Top of the shop - Hazel Tindal and Masuma Ali with 61.54%
A close second - Deirdrie and John Bradley with 60.46%
And an even closer third - Sue Hutchings and Robbie Roberson with 60.10%.
"It was all incredibly close," said ABC Chairman Melvyn Pamplin. "Very well done to them all."

The All Day Bridge ran like clockwork in the capable hands of Neil Tracey - who worked out the movement, entered the scores on his laptop as he went along and produced the morning's results, like a rabbit out of a hat, while we were still eating our lunch and the all-day results while we enjoyed our tea.
It turned out that Neil's expertise is due in part to the 30 years he spent in South Africa where he was Chairman of the KwaZulu-Natal Bridge Union in South Africa and in charge of 19 bridge clubs.
"I really got into bridge in South Africa," he said. And it turns out that his clubs included some seriously good players: "In 2007 they beat the Italians in the quarter finals of the Bermuda Bowl," he said. "They really are hot stuff."
KwaZulu-Natal's loss is Afternoon Bridge Club's gain, and we are all most grateful to Neil for the brilliant job he did on the All Day scoring.
