Bob Triggs
Bob Triggs died just before Christmas, perhaps a merciful release from his health problems.  He was a regular at SBC until earlier this year, and many of you will remember his determination to continue playing bridge despite ill health.  He was delighted to have managed to attend the grand opening in spring 2013 of Pembroke College's new building and bridge.  For some time before the event he proudly showed off his official invitation (he had been a student at Pembroke).  Afterwards he told us how he had chatted to the Duke of Kent on the day.

Well done to Summertown Bridge Club for raising a fantastic £1058 towards Children in Need at our Sim Pairs event!! Special thanks go to Sara Alden and her team of helpers who helped to make this event such a success. Thanks are also due to Maison Française who waived their usual fees for the evening. Donations and pledges made to Children in Need are listed on the ECats website here

From the bridge point of view, it is hearty congratulations to John Spencer & Bridget Watson on a very fine win in the club with 64.96%. Sandra & Krys came second with 61.25% and Holly & Carol were third on 60.66%. Nationally the results are somewhat different, with Sara and Neil being boosted into second place (within the club).
