Club Fund raiser at Hamilton Playbox Club Fund raiser at Hamilton Playbox Club Fund raiser at Hamilton Playbox

The Club and Hamilton Playbox combined in a fund raiser which benefited both parties
The Club "provided the audience" ( we sold virtually 100% the tickets ) and then split the income between the two parties which resulted in the club being better off by around $3000
Response from our members was overwhelming positive so if opportunity arises again we will likely repeat the event
One of our members provided these photos of the event so enjoy....

Congratulations to the Winners at Hamilton 2025


Déjà vu - The numbers who took part in the three events held over the weekend were almost identical ( within one pair or team ) to those who played in the same events last year. Different winners, different names but a good weekend of bridge.
Unfortunately the weekend differed from last year with the non playing of the Restricted Pairs events - the numbers taking part in the past made it not economical to run. Sponsors are hard to find in the current climate and with the the Club not having one this year it becomes a challenge to run a weekend event without incurring a loss. So we need to see all those who played back in a years time for the next Hamilton Congress. Thanks to all who took part....

Corrections"

Thanks to all for making it a great day of bridge
Apologies to those who missed the start of the Rugby !


50 pairs took part in this years 10A Swiss which was 8 pairs more than last year - well done YOU !
Winners were Blair and Liz Fisher from Hamilton who despite losing one round of 7 led the event from the first round to the last - Congratulations.....

Thanks to AFT Pharmaceuticals and Irenee Stewart for being our sponsor for the day and presenting the prizes. With these days of rising costs, sponsors can make the difference in having a successful event versus running at a loss so thank you for all the help.....

Do take care as Covid still lurks as shown with the late withdrawal of a pair - we hope to see you all back at Hamilton's Labour Weekend Congress
