Stansfield Bridge Club was celebrating on Thursday 9th February when A New Year Party was held for the first time in a while!. 52 Members were welcomed with a glass of Champagne and delicious savoury nibbles, to a village hall looking festive, thanks to the hard work of Joan and Keith, Jackie and Pauline.  More delicious food an drink was served in the interval, and our new Life President, and retiring chairman  Richard received a delightful surprise. Bridge member and talented artist Nany Sudbury presented him with a superb portrait which she has created to celebrate his long and distinguished service to the club. 

In spite of the extra opportunities to eat and drink and the generally festive air, the bridge was highly competitive, with 13 tables the top spots were fiercely contested. Congratulations to Mary and Rachael who won the handicap , and to Mary and Richard who won the overall ranking, but only by a very small margin of 0.25% above Joan and Keith who were second - more photos in  results panel to the right .CLICK HERE FOR RESULTS
