MindZine - Bridge -

Predictably, as we near the end of the Summer Term, turnout was low; players came from London, Warwick, Leeds and, of course, York. Play was at the York Bridge Club, which was delightfully air-conditioned!

The Saturday was spent playing pairs competitions; first off was a 'random pairs' match, which led to the inevitable chaos and misunderstandings. We then finished the day with a more light-hearted Speedball match; three minutes per hand, with the T.D. hard on the heels of any player with the audacity to stop and think during play!
Congratulations to Bill and Sushi for collecting more penalty points than the other five pairs put together!

On Sunday, we started with a teams competition, won surprisingly by the home team, and followed by a Swiss individuals Speedball match, including one particularly interesting hand set by the director, and won by Steve Parker, captain of the London team.

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to come to the event, and particularly to Phil Godfrey for directing the tournament.
