Our bridge successes with First for Bridge in Menorca

The first week of this bridge holiday has reaped some bridge successes.

We came first equal in the Championship Pairs with Ken Bawdon and Betty Smithson.  Here we are with our director Nigel Durie.

Andrew and Alan Foan won the Men's Pairs.








The presentation photo. with the trophies, was taken on a subsequent day by the pool.  We are all a little more tanned by now.

The Bob Baker Memorial trophy for wining this competition.  The joint winners would normally take one of the trophies home to keep for the year but we will not be taking it home to Australia.  They are handsome but they also weigh a ton.  So, I took this photo to remember.





We actually won more of the sessions than these photos show.  We won both sets of Welcome Pairs (there is one held at the beginning of each week as new people arrive who only come for the second week, while others leave after the first week) but these are apparently not worthy of a photo shot.  Andrew and Alan also won the Butler session but that too is not a photo op session.  Overall, we consider we had a fairly successful two weeks of bridge.  And of course we thoroughly enjoyed it all.  It has, once again, been a wonderful bridge holiday.  Those lucky Brits have many European bridge holidays in wonderful locations to choose from.  Many go on several during the year to escape the cold UK winter.  We can only manage one a year.  But we are not complaining, we have many bridge opportunities back home.  But combining visiting Europe and two wonderful weeks of bridge in a great place is always memorable for us.
