Frost-bite Pairs

Today, I participated in my first bridge tournament in the our new club-house and since my cardiac arrest. The club had its first Frost-bite pairs trophy over two sessions starting at 9.30 am and going through to 5.30 pm. I partnered Barbara Gates, my usual partner at the club, and for our first session together against top regional competition.

Well, we came third out of the 30 pairs taking part, so it was a good day's work. But it was also a great social event, with several pairs visiting from Tamworth (110 km away) and excellent catering by the house committee. The hands were really tough and were generated randomly by the dealing machine I donated to the club. The machine also generated hand records - good for showing where we went wrong!
