By HBCInc - Posted on 17 October 2023

  • The Club Fundraising Raffle winner is Nathan with the Lucky number 5. Congratulations to Nathan Tucker!
  • Interclub Results
    Well done to our five winning teams on Friday night:
    Open Restricted is captained by Madeleine, Intermediate teams are captained by Jill Marsden and Kathryn, and the Junior/Novice teams are captained by Bernice and Toni.
    The final round for 2023 is on 17 November.
  • Labour Day Bridge - Monday 23 October 1pm
    The last of our public holiday bridge sessions for 2023. Come along and commemorate Englishman Samuel Duncan Parnell who began campaigning for the eight-hour working day as soon as he stepped off the sailing ship Duke of Roxburgh in Petone in 1840.
    Best to organise a partner beforehand but, if you decide on the day to play, just come along in good time and we will sort it out. The bar will be open and please bring a plate for a shared afternoon tea.
  • Tuesday night’s MixnMingle is on Tuesday 24 October.
    Come along and try a different session - a bunch of Tuesday players will be scouting for partners for that evening. There’ll be supper and the bar will be open.
  • Kiwi Cafe around the corner in High Street has joined us as a sponsor. Their menu is on the noticeboard. If you drop in there for coffee or kai, we’d appreciate you mentioning that you are from the Hutt Bridge Club. Thanks!
  • NZ Wide Loveblock Pairs - Friday, November 10, 7.30 pm
    This great event is run throughout the country. Results are produced nationwide as well as for each host club. Each player receives a booklet with commentary on all the hands from NZ Bridge. Cost $15 and the bar will be open. You do need to enter - sign up on the noticeboard or online via NZ Bridge’s website.
  • The next before-bridge session will be on Wednesday 18th October at 6 p.m. We will look at the Stayman convention and revise all the 2-level responses to 1NT.
