10 pairs participated in the two session Championship Pairs event. It was a tightly fought contest between the top two pairs, who were only separated by 1/2%. David Raddish & Nettie Smith were the winners, Well Done both!  The second session did show some of the problems that can occur with Mitchell movements. The top six pairs all played East/West 

Seventy-eight pairs from six Lincolnshire clubs took part on Monday 27 April. Chris Taylor & Catherine Caldow achieved first place overall with a score of 66.3%. A very creditable performance! Well Done! Only two other Scunthorpe pairs managed to finish in the top twenty.

We played a 3/4 Howell movement of 12 x 2-board rounds, allowing us to play as many pairs as possible. Roy Stewart and Roger Harrison put up a very creditable performance coming 15th overall in a field of 342 pairs. Well Done! It was interesting to see that Boston BC and City of Lincoln BC also participated in this event, so you can gauge your performance against some of our best County players.

24 members participated in the Individual Championship on Sunday 8th March. A closely fought contest of 24 boards played in twelve 2-board rounds. The eventual winner was Mike Llewellyn. Well Done!. Our thanks to our reserve player, Yvonne Aubrey who was called in at the last moment. A good fun afternoon of bridge, enjoyed by all.

15 Pairs played in the Masters Pairs heat for the Anne Staveley Trophy on Sunday 22nd February. It was a punishing two session, 36 board event with some interesting hands enjoyed by all who participated. The best Scunthorpe Pair overall in a field of 93 was Steve Travis and Sandy Rushworth in 5th place with 59.3% (provisionally). Well Done to you both!

Six Teams participated in this event which was played over two sessions. It was a closely fought contest between the top three teams which were only separated by 7 Victory Points. The winners were the team of Maurice Lynn, Jenny Knowler, Alan Davies & Lawrie Chapman. Well done to you all!

Fourteen pairs participated in this event which was played over six 4-board rounds. Players moved after each round so that pairs were evenly matched according to their overall scores, the tops at table 1 and the bottoms at table 7. Alan and Lawrie seemed stuck at table 1 for the whole of the event and became the clear winners. Well done to you both!

Sixty-eight pairs from five Lincolnshire clubs took part. Scunthorpe managed to put four pairs in the top twenty, one of our better results.
