| South Wales Virtual "Porthcawl" Congress |
Unfortunately, this year's online "Porthcawl" Congress produced so few entries that the majority of competitions had to be cancelled
The only events which were able to go ahead being Friday evening's Mixed Pairs and Sunday's Championship Pairs, but even the latter had insufficient entries to run in its usual format, so all played in one section. The Mixed Pairs resulted in a runaway victory for Aida Aris & Mark Roderick, with Jennifer Wardell & Bob Alderdice in 2nd place and Vida Halford & Glyn Williams 3rd. Sunday saw a strong field competing for the Red Dragon Trophy. Stefan Lindfors & Ian Walsh led from the start and despite the best efforts of Martin Garvey & Andrea Knox, Kevin Maddox & Mike Best, Julie & Ian Grant they held onto their lead.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Many thanks to Sarah, Ian and the IBEx team for running this congress on our behalf.

Congratulations to Steve Jarvis & Mike Baker, winners of this year's WWBA green-pointed Swiss Pairs. Steve & Mike made their way rapidly to table 1 and although Jennifer Wardell & Nalini Dewan in 2nd place and Vida Halford & Glyn Williams in 3rd tried valiantly to catch them up, it was to no avail!
Today's event was directed calmly and efficiently (as ever) by the lovely Sarah Amos (shown above with Steve & Mike)
