JULIE SHERIDAN - NZB VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

What a wonderful Wednesday evening bridge session. First off it was the Paul Neilson Singles when a Club Senior partners with a different Junior or Novice player for each of the three sessions. This kind of event embodies the qualities we hope our Club promotes - friendship, encouragement and support to all members.

TECT GRANT SUCCESS!!

The Committee is delighted to announce we have been granted $6,217 from TECT to go towards replacement of our second airconditioning unit.

Many thanks to Teri Logie (Office Admin), Diane Rodger (President) and Jane Dekker (Treasurer) for their hard work in lodging the successful Grant Application. Well done ladies!

New Handicap System

At our last Committee meeting we agreed to change to a new handicap system, based on the EBU (English Bridge Union) calculations. For the majority of our members there will be little difference to the overall results and for a small few there maybe a slight re-rank. The big difference is that the handicaps are no longer static. Each week your handicap may change, as this is a dynamic system. It is based on lots of boards (up to 2000) and each week your latest results are added to the calculation. Not only that, your results are based on the strength of your opponents.
