For the second year in a row this year saw Val Heferen and Brian McCarney finish as Club Champions. Less than 3% was the difference between first and fourth which will give a good indication of the closeness this year.

A quick glance at past years championship results show that Val has emerged as champion on no less than 12 occasions having partnered people like Margaret Geddes, Cathy Cox, Margaret Large, Guy Kemp, Jay Moore and again with  Brian McCarney.

Brian has not been without prior success having partnered Barbara Green on two occasions before his success this year with Val.

Congratulations go not only to the winners but to all who competed in a very strong evenly matched field

With the aid of a number of walk in pairs this years championship consolation was able to be conducted in conjunction with the main event.

This years winners were Neva Cavenagh and Sylvia Enklaar North/South with  Robin Suttor and Michael Cox from East/West. 

Both pairs were unlucky not to qualify for the championship as they were just outside the cut off point in the original field. Again both pairs are relatively new combinations and are settling in well in their new pairing

Congratulations to both pairs

Again this year we saw a good sized field contest the Sparkes Cup with 6 tables all up.

Winners with virtually 7% margin were Val Heferen and Brian McCarney (current Club Champions).

Runners up were Greta Kroll and new comer Terry McMahon less than 1% ahead of Sandy Steele-Park and Lesley Robertson.

Rules for the trophy call for a Howell movement and with 6 full tables our Director Marelle Irvine was kept on her toes all morning.

Congratulations to our winners
