The following Newbury Team played Basingstoke in the final of the Basingstoke Cup Friday 26th May on BBO and were unlucky to lose by 24 imps:  David Barratt, John Harland, Derek Andrews, Steve Martin, Frans and Brenda Vas Nunes, Bill Washington and Alan Burley. Alan Oliver and Sallie Cheek played in the previous round. On Wednesday 31st May Alan and Sue Oliver and David and Eileen are playing against Michael Yeo's team in the final of the HICKO, Hampshire's handicap knock out competition.

On Monday, 18th December there was a Christmas celebration evening for the Improvers' class with drinks and nibbles followed by some relaxed bridge. Sallie Cheek, Stu Clarke, John Harland and Brian Medhurst have devoted every Monday evening to teaching this group of varying abilities; their skill and patience have meant that all of the students have made significant progress and many have moved on to playing in other club sessions. The members of the class presented the trainers with gifts and cards to thank them for all of their hard work and patience this year and are looking forward to the the next stage of the class in January.

We have just learned the sad news that Ann Fieldhouse died on Wednesday evening, 3rd May. She played bridge at the club for several years and was a popular player. Our commiserations go to her husband Phil Hickman and to her family and friends.

As usual this proved to be very enjoyable  event played in good spirit by all. A magnificent tea was very much enjoyed. A big thank you to Eileen Barratt and her catering team; Yvonne Bell, Janet Fuller, Susan Kay, Liz Madeley, Mary Ferguson, Christine Ray, Judy Bungey, Nicola Foster, Pauline Serby and Bill Washington.

Thank you to everybody who supported the event and congratulations to Chris Waye for winning  the Southern Salver. In an event with 40 entrants we think the following deserve a mention too. Gary Reynolds was 2nd and Janet Higgins one of our newer members who attends our training classes on Monday was 3rd. Well done to them.
