Moving Right Along ..

It's about now that one gets the feeling that the season is at "shoulder" as we approach the main event of the year .. being NZ's own National Congress. This, of course, is still some way off at the end of September. Nevertheless, we have just this last weekend seen the completion of the Bay Pairs with Kate Terry and Judy Pawson of Tauranga coming out on top. Sister act the Waikato Area Pairs has just the one round to go at Morrinsville on the 5th of August and the Intermediate and Junior Leagues are well advanced. Waikato has found its two representative teams in each of the three grades to meet the Bay teams (to be settled at Rotorua on 29-Jul) at the Grade Trophies in Cambridge on 26-Aug. The TWITS (The Waikato Interclub Teams) has just two rounds to go. My, we are getting through it!

The National Conference takes place in Wellington this coming Sunday July 15th. Hosted by the Board of NZ Bridge it will be attended by delegates from all seven Regions. The agenda is attached below - sounds exciting .. lucky devils! Your new Regional Committee officially took office last week - the only change being Alan Dick stepping up for Ian Moore. Heaps of newbies popping up in our playing rooms. Lots of boidies in the trees! The countryside will soon be littered with new directors as the semi-annual exams are to be held next weekend.

Tell ya - it's all GO!!
