Hunters Hill Bridge Club Inc.

The Clare Trophy next Monday is an individual competition. All welcome. You play with many different partners, with normal tablemoney and normal session times.

Bridge for Brains results, including nationwide Red Masterpoint awards, are under Club Results then Hunters Hill at
http://www.nationwidepairs.com.au/bridge_for_brains.html

On Mondays and Wednesdays, the gate to the rear car park is unlocked and opened about 40 to 45 minutes before play starts. You park to the east of the white line. For other sessions, this parking area is locked, as there is sufficient parking elsewhere. The Council uses this carpark as a Works and Storage area - removal of rocks or soil
or other material is prohibited.

The Monday Autumn Pairs is a three week event - May 10, May 17 and May 24.

To look up the results select "Championships" rather than "Duplicates". The event is called

May 10 Mon Section 1

Click on "S1" to get the first week's results or "S2" to get the second week's results.

The current Wednesday event is the Carolyn Molloy Pairs. The same thing will apply - click on "Championships" not "Duplicates" to get the results for each session.

There will be a slight change of format this year. Table fees will be $7.00 for all players on that day. Everyone will automatically be entered in the national competition. The club will donate all of the table fees to the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute’s study of dementia. You will be able to make a further donation if you wish (cash, cheque or credit card). These funds go directly to research.

This is a hand played at the North Shore Bridge Club last week.

The Council has offered HHBC the use of the Henley Community Club. This building has much more space and wonderful views and the committee feels that would be a better venue for us. Many of you will be familiar with it as we held our congress there in September this year.

We feel the best way to handle the move is for it be a six month trial and then we will all know the pros and cons. We have also decided to delay the move from the Hunters Hill Bowling Club until we have sorted out any teething problems and so this means that Monday Bridge will continue for a short while to be at the Hunters Hill Bowling Club.
