Submitted by ella on Tue, 28/05/2019 - 07:08

What are The Inter-Provincials or as they are more commonly known the IPs ?

The IPs are a teams competition in which the 7 NZ "Bridge Regions" ( Auckland-Northland, Waikato-Bays, Central Districts, Wellington, Top of the South, Canterbury & Otago-Southland ) complete against one another
These competitions take place in 4 different "grades" - Open, Intermediate, Women & Seniors with the overall winner being the the Region with the most points from the events in the 4 different grades

The overall winner is awarded the Dougal McLean Trophy which for the past 3 years has been held by the Wellington region

Again in mid November battle commences in Christchurch over 3 days were the regions will challenge each other with the aim of being the best!

Waikato Bays held trials recently in Tauranga with the result that these Hamilton Bridge Club members qualified for the inter-provincial teams :

Senior     -   Ella Gray and Michael Neels
Open      -   Yuzhong Chen and Noel Grigg
Women   -   Jenna Gibbons

Chef de Mission (CDM) for Waikato-Bays for the event is Jenny Millington

2019 Subscriptions

Submitted by Dave on Tue, 05/03/2019 - 16:45


Our piggy bank is not bottomless and unfortunately needs an occasional "top up" - the Club has an expensive building to maintain....

Your subs form a large part of the Clubs income and were due at the end of February. There is rather a high percentage of subs still outstanding so if you fit this category can you please pay......

Thanks
