Congratulations to Jan Whitehouse and Tony Burbridge, winners of the Winchester City Cup on Tuesday 9th April, just ahead of Bob McRobert and Margaret Blewett. Third place was Jill and Alan Hickson. The event was well attended with 12 full tables and our thanks go to the staff for their extra effort in ensuring the full room for us at a very busy time, as well as to Simon directing and Ticker scoring.

Congratulations toMargaret Blewett and Bob McRobert, this year's winners of the Tom March trophy played on Tuesday 11th June.

Congratulations to those who took part in the Charity Sim Pairs on Tuesday 3rd Sept!

The full results are on the EBU site at https://www.ebu.co.uk/sim-pairs/000529 - and we especially congratulate Louise and Peter who achieved an excellent score of 60.69%. Bob and David were our second best pair overall, followed by Ticker and Graham.

If you follow the EBU link you will also find the commentary on the hands, or the direct link to the booklet here.

Thanks to director Simon and scorer Ticker, especially as we had a few issues with parking, an unfortunate fall by one of our members, and also an incident with cards getting mixed up.

Despite this it was an excellent turnout and we raised more than £300 for the charity Cancer Research UK - this includes £286 from members and the EBU session fee paid by the club which will also be donated.

Thanks to all who took part. £179 was raised for the HIOW Air Ambulance. Congratulations to Louise and Peter Toghill for coming second. Click here to read the commentary by Julian Pottage.
