The DBC photo competition for unusual places to play bridge was judged by Honorary President Jim Cunningham and long-standing member, Wyllie Fyfe. There were many interesting examples – in Gillies’ window, on the HMS Unicorn, at Verdant works, in a corn field, on a beach – but the winning picture was of “Bridge on a Bridge”. Taken by Lynn Fullerton, it shows DBC members, President Bill Kane with Alice Cowieson, Bill Hamilton & Liz Johnston, on the 500 year-old Dairsie Bridge on a beautiful summer’s day, proving that you can play bridge outdoors in Scotland!
