WABC Anniversary Pairs
The 16th Anniversary of the opening of the new WABC clubhouse in Swanbourne was celebrated on Saturday. The Anniversary Pairs competition was well attended with 67 pairs playing. During the afternoon tea break the Anniversary cake was cut by one of our Patrons, Helen George. The cake was kindly made and decorated by Sandy Veling. At tea the players enjoyed a piece of the cake as well as cup cakes provided by volunteers.
The winners of the Anniversary Pairs were Belinda Taranto & Patricia MacNamara, closely followed by Bruce Fraser & Chris Ingham, and in third place Kate Pinniger & Carla Sullivan.
For the first time a WABC Birthday Congress Swiss Pairs was held. This event was also very well supported with 28 pairs competing. The winners after a gruelling day were Gwyneira Brahma & Dave Munro, closely followed by Eve Clarkson & Sandy Veling with David Matthews & Don Allen coming third. An excellent result from Eve and Sandy who were well placed all day in the Swiss. The best WABC pair was Mark Doust & John McMullin.
Judy Crooke also celebrated her 94th Birthday on Saturday. She joined the Club in January 1977 and is one of our precious Diamond Members.
Thank you to all the players for supporting this special Anniversary celebration and to the volunteers for providing a super afternoon tea.
