| Dereham Bridge Club Member's Success |
 For a relatively new club, we play host to some very talented players of which we are rightly extremely proud. At the Norfolk Congress 2019 held at the Wensum Valley Hotel, we had outstanding representation. Of the twenty three teams playing in the misleadingly named Really Easy Congress, three pairs from the Club finished in the top eight! Our congratulations go to Lesley Matthews & David Sumbler, for their first place win and successful claim of the President’s Trophy! Our Congratulations also to our two other finely placed pairs: Penny Pomfret & Jane O’dell and Jane Keidan-Cooper & Elspeth Mackinlay
The member’s accolades do not stop here; with a win for Chris Mallon (with partner Mike Scoltock) in the Men’s Pairs; a further win in the Friday Team’s event (with team members Alan Cooke, Gary Hyett and Mike Scoltock) and Chris was also mentioned in the Saturday’s Daily Telegraph for his 4th place success in the Norfolk Swiss Pairs event (with partner Mike Scoltock). Congratulations Chris Mallon!
