WAPWAP

The WAP series starts this month in Morrinsville on the 26th March.

The series is a relaxed walk-in costing only $10 per person (BYO lunch).

It takes place in 5 central Waikato clubs on Sundays, once a month over the next 5 months - come along to just one or try and win some of the overall prizes by competing in at least 4 of the events.

Need to be played with the same partner (one sub allowed) and there are prizes for best non-open pairs.

We encourage you to support your club when it is held locally as well as the other events. This is a great event to hone your partnerships and is intended for any keen juniors and above.

Richard's report from the Gold Coast Congress dominates this newsletter with close to 20% of the Te Aroha club travelling across to Oz for the event.

As you can imagine it wasn't all bridge!
