On Sunday 1st March, 12 pairs competed for the Mike Turnbull Trophy which was held in the Gillespie Centre. Mike's widow, Mary and her two grandsons presented the trophy to the winners, Cathy Cursiter and Stephen Hagan. Congratulations to them! Afterwards, Mary joined several members for supper at the Crown.
Just before the presentation, Rob Norris donated several bridge items which belonged to Pam, his late mother. Many thanks to him for bringing these along.
