Hampshire Congress Congratulations |
 |
Congratulations to Hampshire Congress Prizewinners:
James Clark & Steve Preston (pictured above) winners of the Green Point Swiss Pairs on 8th March (full results here) with Bob McRobert & Geoff Oldfield 2nd, and Guy Lawrenson (presenting prizes above) & Michael Yeo, Andrew Doye & Stephen Lee equal 3rd.
Also, Owen Leigh, Colin Jones, James Clark & Steve Preston (pictured above) winners of the Green Point Teams on 9th March (full results here).
In the pairs, James & Steve won all their six matches but had to wait until their 5th round win against Bob & Geoff before they took the lead.
In the teams, congratulations also to Andrew & Mary E Ferguson, Alan & Sue Oliver winners of the Catherine Howell Trophy for the best all HIWCBA registered team performance at the Hampshire Congress. They started poorly but had the best second half performance to rise to joint 2nd (with Tim Rees & Ceri Pierce, Tim Smith & Stephen Scott).. Owen Leigh, Colin Jones, James Clark & Steve Preston only had a single VP lead at half time but had the second best second half performance to win handsomely.
Winchester Racquets & Fitness Club provided fine half time food and the event was smoothly directed by Colin Simcox.

Basingstoke Club Refurbishment And Pottage Semi-Final Result |
 |
Basingstoke Bridge Club has unveiled its newly expanded and upgraded premises on Richmond Road, Basingstoke, as it marked a new chapter for the long-standing community group. The club, which has been based at the site since 1973, celebrated the culmination of five months of construction work with a members’ open day on Sunday, January 19. The ambitious renovation project was funded through a combination of the club’s own reserves and a grant from ourselves at HIWCBA. Full report from the Basingstoke Gazette here.
All this made Basingstoke Bridge Club a fitting venue for the Pottage Cup Semi-final on 16th February, run well by Keith Bennett & John Fairhurst - Full details of qualifiers here. Congratulations to Karen Dewar & Adrian Fontes, Fred Hotchen & Steve Preston (1st and 2nd) and the next 14 pairs who all qualify for the final in Winchester on 27th April. Will qualifiers please inform Mike Kinsey if they do not intend to turn up for the final so that they can be replaced by the the reserves from the semi-final.. Thank you.
