Summer Learners’ Finale

Yesterday we ran our first end of term learners' duplicate and were delighted to have over seven tables of learners attend, some playing their first duplicate session. All players were given a joker whereby they were allowed one opportunity to get expert bidding advice from Oliver or if they were unlucky, advice from Julian. Wisely, more than ten competitors did not use their joker, recognising that they would do better without such distractions. 

We had three prize categories and our winners were:

Overall winners – Emma & Colin Piper 

Top Second Year Pair – Maria Bridges & Michele Hood 

Top First Year Pair – Melissa Bell & Sue Randall 

A big thank-you to all who made the event run so well on the day; in addition to Oliver and Julian, many thanks also to Sue Wallace and to Liz Cheveley for their behind the scenes/front of house work. We intend to run similar end of term events from now on, so expect the next one to happen in November.
