Apart from the usual plethora of localised celebrations of the successes of various players in club competitions we have:
The annual round of lessons in most clubs is coming to an end. Star performer this year has to have been the Omokoroa club who, like the kiwi, have hatched an egg almost as big as itself. They started the year with 35 full members and 5 affiliates. Working to prescription with Regional Bridge Mate Eunice Eccles they attracted 27!! beginners of whom 24 ran the course of lessons and 22 will likely join the club. A HUGE success story!
