STANNINGTON BC NEWS |
Congratulations to members Steve and Georgia Ray, Don Reid and Mary Page on retaining the NEBA Kempson Vases Teams of Four trophy.
On Friday 19th April Peter and Ann were first with a huge 73% with Steve and Georgia in second and David and Stephen and Liz and Don tied in third place.
On Friday 17th May at the usual time of 7.00 pm we will be holding an expert talk on Defensive Signals. Multi-title winning GB and Scottish International player Liz McGowan will be giving the talk and hopefully answering a few questions on her bridge career. Notes of the tips from the talk will be provided and, after a refreshment break for cheese and wine or tea/coffee and biscuits, we will play 12 hands to illustrate the lesson in action. Attendance will be solely available through buying a ticket in advance at a cost of £10. Tickets are available from Anne Bell on 01670 366492 or anbel36@btinternet.com.
Congratulations to John Eckford from our Thursday group who has become a Local Master and to Pam Gladwin who has achieved the rank of 1 Star Premier Tournament Master.
