Monthly report

LAST month saw Bude Bridge Club hold the Club Team Championship, one of the two major competitions held during the year.

Pairs play a normal session of bridge, and at the end of the session, each pair joins with another pair, and their scores are added together with the highest total winning!

The winning team was Chris Nichols, Jane Koldewey and Neil and Sarah Trenaman.

The Handicap Pairs was played early in February, the fifth of six sessions during the year.

All pairs start with a score of 50%. An average is taken of the best four results over the year. The best average wins.

February’s winners were Chris Nichols and Jane Koldewey.

Chris and Jane have had an excellent month at bridge — they have also won twice on a Tuesday! Neil and Sarah Trenaman have also had an excellent month, winning three times on a Wednesday.

Steven Clifton and Paul Creighton are the other Tuesday winners, and Deb Delvalle and Geoff Scutt filled the gap on a Wednesday.

Congratulations were expressed to all the winners in a busy month.
