CHRISTMAS DUPLICATE
COMPETITION
BRIDGE AND FUN AT SOBELL
Saturday 8th
December 2007
Seventy two players enjoyed the sherry reception, finger buffet with wine and good competitive yet friendly bridge at the first Christmas Duplicate evening held by the Club.
Preparation for the event started mid afternoon with a scene reminiscent of Macbeth Act 1 Scene 1 taking place in the kitchen preparing the finger buffet whilst our President took on his well known roll as barkeeper. Meanwhile the labourers prepared the arena.

On arrival players were greeted with a glass of sherry and an array of excellent raffle prizes before being persuaded by Elaine that too win one they needed to buy a ticket or three.
In addition to normal duplicate play a prize was offered to the last player of the evening .to take a trick with a ‘2’. This feat was achieved by 17 players during the evening – by Joan Knaggs twice – but the eventual winner was Margaret Rainbow.

Twenty four ‘boards’ were played in each of two separate sessions (‘A’ and ‘B)’, each of nine tables, prizes – presented by President Len Turner -being awarded to first North/South and first East/West in each session. Scores by Secretary Geoff Gray Bridgemate Operator for the evening.

Although intended as a fun raising, rather than a fund raising event the evening benefited the Friends of Michael Sobell House by about £150 pounds.
