Wednesday 21 May 2025 -Melded Game

 Wednesday 21 May 2025 - Today on an overcast, dreary and coolish/wettish day,  we had a melded game!  Our normal Wednesday fun game only had 8 couples and Charlie Felton's "Kittery/Eliot" game has folded, so we gained 3 couples from his game for a total of 11 couples.  So we rain a 5 and a half table Howell movement with 3 hands per round for 8 rounds.  Until we pay our dues for a sanctioned game, we will not be awarding points for this game. We are thinking of running 2 sessions at the same time, one sanctioned and one not sanctioned for our less competitive members. 

Our top scorers were Nick and Ed with a 70.83%, followed by Nancy and Skip with a 60.72%, then Pam and Claire with 58.33%.  Next came Bobbie and Sid with a 57.8%.   It looks like Jan and Bill might make a good pair in the future! You all did well and we hope that you had a good time.  

Thank you all for coming.  We are researching how to run two sections at the same time, perhaps with a  barrier in between the sections, since our guests told us we were too loud?  A number of us are hard of hearing and perhaps we speak too loudly!

Please bear with us and our growing pains!

Thank all of you for coming to our game in fabulous Centennial Hall!
