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....
