Bridge Notes
Following the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic, NYC bridge has continued to recover during the 2022/23 season. Now that yachts are back in the water and Thursday racing has recommenced, weekly bridge competitions have moved to Tuesday evenings and it is hoped to continue every Tuesday until July. As usual, play commences at 7.30pm and players are urged to arrive and be seated by 7.20pm to ensure a prompt start.
As always, new members will be very welcome and they will experience bridge competitions in a friendly and social atmosphere.
National Yacht Club â Winter Table Quiz series 2022/23
On 5 April, the final round of the winter table quiz series was held with 18 teams participating. We had an enthralling finish to a captivating season, where any one of three teams were in with a chance to win the overall prize.
Congratulations go to team WIZARD who won on the night and captured the BRAINS OF THE BAY TROPHY beating The Corner Boys and Enchantress into 2nd and 3rd respectively.
The 11-quiz series was a great success with 22 different teams participating throughout the series, as well as a Christmas dinner and a final round Club dinner to round off the competition, where the Commodore presented the trophy to the successful WIZARDS (pictured ).
We look forward to welcoming all teams (old and new) back next Autumn. We will kick off again on the 18th October (put the date in your diaries!) - watch out for updates in the Newsletter.
