| Grand Slam Rollover |
Congratulations to John Simpson and Chris Cosgrove for bidding and making 7 Hearts on Thursday 12 March and winning a bumper prize of over £100 each in the process. The rollover had been running for months without a winner, hence the large payout. At the other table (there were only 2.5 tables on the evening), Bob and Ian bid 6 Spades and also took 13 tricks.
Two weeks later Bob and Ian bid and made 7S to also win the Rollover, but the payout was minimal.
