PRESIDENTS NIGHT - 19 MAY 2017 - JAMES CAVANAGH |
On Friday 19th May 2017, Mr James Cavanagh, Honorary President, hosted his very successful President's Night. The evening started off in Inish Fusion Restaurant where a delicious meal was served from a wide selection of starters, main courses and desserts. A very popular choice from the menu on the night was the beautiful fresh haddock and monkfish, which was generously sponsored by John McClenaghan. After much eating (and some drinking) we drifted to the usual venue for a happy, lighthearted and relaxing game of bridge, everyone trying to get their hands on some of the lovely prizes on the night. Naturally we could not all win but we did our best and the winners were ..............................
In first place, with 64.06% were Congress Secretary Anna Carr, and incoming CBAI President, Jim O'Sullivan, being presented with their prize by Honorary President James Cavanagh
In Second Place, with 63.28% were the dynamic duo of John McClenaghan and James McLaughlin
in Third Place with 61.61% were the two Buncrana Babes, Paddi Doran and Betty O Loughlin
and the Special Prize on the night went to Margaret Casey and Liam Doherty

Remembering Pat (Patricia) Friel |
On Wednesday 3rd August 2016 we sadly lost one of our long time loyal members of the Club. Pat had been coming to play bridge with us for near on 20 years and was an inspiration to all of us. She was an extremely genuine and humourous lady who thoroughly enjoyed her game. She is sadly missed by all of the club members and more especially her long time bridge partner, companion and dear friend Kathleen McCay.
“What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.” -Helen Keller
