Well done to Nick Cantlon and Nick Saunders for passing their Tournament Director exams. A lot of hard work by both of them to achieve this. Bruce Owen had the Honour of presenting the Certificates to them. Bruce has been our only tournament director for a number of years.

Te Awamutu Bridge Club is one of the few clubs in New Zealand to have three Tournament Directors.

Congratulations to Mike Joyes and John Simelink for winning the Junior section of the Cambridge Sixes held on Saturday.

John and Mike were the junior pairing of the Rivers End team which included Nick Saunders and Judith Howard (Intermediates) and Kate McFadyen and Gwyn Lobb (Open). The team coming in 9th overall. A fantastic effort.

Monday night saw 18 new members graduate from attending 10 weeks of lessons. We welcome them to our club and look forward to seeing them at the bridge table.

Bruce Owen and Jocelyn Bayley looking very snazzy on Tuesday.

The Fairland Shield was once again contested between Te Awamutu and Cambridge. It was a great afternoon of Bridge and was enjoyed by all. Unfortunately Cambridge retained their hold on the Shield. Maybe it will be our turn next year.

The Top Te Awamutu Pair for the day were Paul Stevenson and Vicki Shelton.

Hi All, There have been a couple of changes to the results for today from the result you will have seen on the bridgemate, some pairs not sitting in the correct direction. The posted result is now correct. Thanks - Nick C
