Our annual visit to Opotiki is coming up Monday 18 March so grab a partner and find a car to pool with. Add your names to the list on the whiteboard indicating whether you would like to car pool or have space available.

This is always a very fun visit and Opotiki do treat us very well with a fine supper.

Mondays no longer have a partnership steward which means you will find your own partners. You can txt/email/ring your partner or ask them face to face when you come along to play. Bring your yellow book with you to arrange this. If you don’t yet have your 2024 bridge book, they are available for you to collect when you come to the club.

Monday 29 January and Monday 5  February : no partner needed. Come along and put your name in the bowl; partners will be drawn out. This gives you 2 weeks to match up partners for future Monday competitions.

Kia ora e te whanau

Experienced Monday nighters, please ask the novices/newer players to join you for a competition. We all remember as newbies how lovely it was when we were asked to play with a more  knowledgeable player.

There is no partnership steward for Monday nights in 2024. Please organise your own partners or use the whiteboard to indicate you’re looking for a partner. 

Janet and Jenny E played 96 hands of bridge online over the weekend in the IP’s-interprovincial championships. The team was 6th overall; our girls’ partnership saw them place 12th out of 20 with the fellow team members coming 15th and 17th. Congratulations on your fine achievement Janet and Jenny!
