Individual congratulations to Joan, who won the Michael Robinson trophy as the expert with the best cross-imp score (Diana was second), and to Gaynor who was also part of the winning team at the previous session.

| The Michael Robinson Trophy |
The club has decided to award a trophy in honour of our former chairman, Michael Robinson.
The Michael Robinson Trophy will be presented to the expert with the highest cross-imp score in the Play with an Expert sessions that we hold roughly every nine months.
Congratulations to the first winner, Chris Wilson who, together with his non-expert partner, Gaynor Cooper topped the table in the October 2023 event.
