MAGIC AT THE MOOS

Three brave pairs from lessons stepped forward to take part in a relaxed afternoon of bridge at the Morrinsville Bridge Club this afternoon. Whilst the Cream of the Country were battling it out in the main room, the Mini Moos played 9 boards in a separate playing area. Six tables, 24 beginners from lessons at Hamilton, Cambridge, Morrinsville, Te Awamutu and Te Aroha took part. Crib sheets were allowed and Phone A Friend. Carolien van Reekum and Judy Eichblatt finished a very commendable 5th out of the 12. Remember just 12 weeks ago, Carolien had never even held a playing card in her hand. Runners up were Alison Jones and Victor Kooter. The winners were our very own Rochelle van Heuven and Jillian O'Neill, the only pair in the room to be brave enough to bid and call a slam. All this, and they haven't even graduated from lessons and played a session of club bridge yet. CONGRATULATIONS to all of them. Full results in the pdf attachement.
