BUDE Bridge Club was one of several throughout the United Kingdom to have taken

part in the Children in Need Simultaneous Pairs event in November — raising £125 for this worthwhile cause.

The best result by a Bude partnership were visitors Audrey Grzesiak and Graham Clark, who were an outstanding 72nd out of 2,028 pairs.

David Clarke and Steven Clifton came an excellent 181st, and Bob and Ann Bennett finished in a creditable 396th position.

• Ann Bennett and Sheila Teale are to be congratulated on their recent promotions by the English Bridge Union (EBU) to

District Master and Area Master respectively.

• The November heat of the North Coast Wine Handicap pairs was won by Christine Theobald and Sylvia Rogers.

• The only multiple winner during November was Chrsi Nichols, who won with Jane Koldewey, Steven Clifton and

Linda Ashworth.

Other winning partnerships during the month were Bob and Ann Bennett, Maureen Fallows and James Sim,

Alan Biggs and Rob Mabley and Sarah and Neil Trenaman.
