Super-size bridge field for AGM Pairs

The Brisbane Water Bridge Club conducted its annual AGM Pairs competition after the annual general meeting on Monday, September 11.

"A super-size field fronted the judges with some surprising results," said new president Mr Jim Routledge.

"Possibly the biggest result was the successful defence of their title by Elaine and Peter Hume.

"To win one red point event is hard enough but to front up again next year is almost unknown."

North-South results were:

1 Peter Hume, Elaine Hume 334.9 (62.01 per cent), 0.60 red points.

2 Christine Hadaway, Ann Snow 321.1 (59.47), 0.42.

3 Judy Wulff, David Adams 307.4 (56.93), 0.30.

4 Pamela Lumby, Carol Long 277.1 (51.32), 0.20.

5 Julie Teague, Laurie Powell 274.3 (50.80), 0.15.

6 Cheryl Pearse, Jenni Murray 267.8 (49.59), 0.12.

7 Jacqueline Wilson, Jenny Buckley 265.9 (49.24).

8 Meg McGregor, Hilary Owen 263.5 (48.79).

9 Dieter Mucharsky, Bob Lowry 254.9 (47.20).

10 Stuart Clark, Pete Talty 231.2 (42.82).

11 Kerry-Anne Durrant, Carolyn Girdwood 220.2 (40.77).

12 Rohan Creasey, Maria Rose 216.2 (40.04).

East-West results were:

1 Jaan Oitmaa, Sylvia Foster 340.9 (63.13 per cent), 0.60 red points.

2 Martin Johnson, Chris Hasemore 340.5 (63.05), 0.42.

3 Hope Tomlinson, Barry Foster 332.6 (61.59), 0.30.

4 Caroline Nichols, Graham Woof 318.5 (58.98), 0.20.

5 Karen Ody, Jim Routledge 299.3 (55.43), 0.15.

6 Carolynne Mucharsky, Blair Glass 279.2 (51.70).

7 Jan Davis, Lorraine Lindsay 274.1 (50.76).

8 Carolyn Harper, Merilyn Reid 251.6 (46.58).

9 Jenny Poole, Josephine Howie 197.7 (36.61).

10 Maureen Lockwood, Fiona Galea 191.3 (35.43).

11 Annie Creasey, Julie Barker 144.4 (26.75).
