On 16th August Newton Abbot Bridge Club held their annual charity Swiss Teams in aid of the Dame Hannah Rogers Trust. This was well attended with 18 Teams from the South Devon area taking part, bridge and a delicious lunch were enjoyed by all who attended.
John Murray-Brown's team from Torquay came first, in second place were Carol Ritzen’s team and in third place Robin Mardlin’s team. Prizes were awarded to the three winning teams.
Chairman Frances Fitzgerald and committee members would like to thank club members who prepared the food, Bill Oke & Cathy Lee for organising the bridge, sponsors and individuals who donated prizes for the raffles, participating teams and anyone that contributed to making the day a success. Over £1100 was raised, and members of the committee will be visiting the Dame Hannah Rogers School in Ivybridge later this month to present the donation.
