| 2024 Competition |
We held our annual Mixed Pairs Championship on Thursday 16 May in the club, not even a traffic jam on A55 could stop us - although we were a little late starting because of it.
We had 8 tables and played 12 2-board rounds. Congratulations to David Stevenson and Liz Cummins who were winners. Stewart Hart and Jane Campion were close behind in 2nd place with a tie for 3rd place between John Whiteoak and Alida Droppert & Joan Marray and Paul Roberts (they had to share the smallest prize!). Here are all of them being presented prizes by Sheena.

| 2023 Competition |
We had 9 tables in the club for the Mixed Pairs Competition on Thursday 25 May. While that wasn't as many as the 11 tables we had when the competition was last held in the club (2019) it was a good turn out and enough for a satisfying game of bridge.
The top three pairs were all very close (63.5%, 63.3% and 62.5%), Congratulations to the winers, Frank Salt & Ali Crossley, and to 2nd and 3rd pairs, Richard Tresais & Anne Dodd and Joan Marray & Paul Roberts. Here is a combined photo of all of them:
