Although the venue available for the Christmas competition turned out to be somewhat cool we quickly thawed out when we retired to Daft Eddy’s for our meal and prize giving.  Pictured are Julie Mackie presenting the prizes to Lesley Rea & Des Greer (N/S) & Colin Moorhead & Vivienne Linter (E/W).   Also pictured is Julie thanking Jacky Marks for organising the meal.

Killyleagh Bridge Club held a memorial night on Monday 27 March 2017 for Norma, the club secretary, who died suddenly during cancer treatment.   The event was fully subscribed reflecting the high esteem in which Norma was held both in her local club and the wider bridge community.   As though to emphasise how much Norma (our technical guru) is missed computer problems meant that the competition results were not available on the night as had been intended but the position was rescued by the hard work of our tournament directors who manually processed the scores and these are now included on our website.   Our congratulations go to the winners of each section.   Small mementos of the night will be distributed to them in due course.   The main purpose of the night was of course to have an enjoyable night’s bridge and raise funds for Friends of the Cancer Centre the charity selected by Norma’s family and we are pleased to announce that the net amount raised for the charity currently stands at £1,550.00   Our thanks go to all those who so generously assisted and supported this very enjoyable event.

Update

As a result of the success of the event we were able to donate £1,600 to the Friends of the Cancer Centre.   This was done over the Easter break and Bill Percival-Price along with a few club members can be seen on the charity’s website presenting the cheque.   The link to this is

The winners of the event were all from the Killyleagh Bridge Club and the Section A winners North South & East West (who presumably were less camera shy than the Section B winners) can be seen above receiving their prizes from the club chairman Mary Brown

NIBU have introduced a new competition for us. The Gala Pairs at La Mon on Sunday 4th August. This was a great opportunity to play with others of equal standard.  

There were three sections: Intermediate A, Intermediate B and Novice (for those playing 3 years or less).

It was an easy going, enjoyable and fun day and a great introduction to playing in an event with others from outside the club. 

Hot news Geoff Booth & Lorna Thompson came second in one of the Novice pairs sessions.... Congratulations! Our club had 24 players entered.

The results from 24th February are on Kelvin and Malone site.

The Stan Johnston Cup was won by Jacky Marks and Rosie Lowry. Congratulations ladies!

Enjoy the long, hot summer break and see you in September!
