Weekly update 19th June :
Once again we had good support for our evening competitions, but insufficient support for our three daytime competitions. It seems there’s too much other stuff going on in the daytimes, so if we’re still here in September we’ll give them another go, but in the meantime we’ll just stick to our evening games.
However if anyone wants their own game for any time let me know & I will try to facilitate. This can be for just members of the group, or for your own supplied list of of people, or other other defined groups.
My apologies for Thursday night's game which was cut short before the last round.
Here are this week's winners,
Sunday 14th 7pm
1st : Peter Ryan & Liz Jennings
2nd : Vistors Fer & Jacqueline
3rd : Mary Deane & Declan Murray

----------------------------
Friday 12th June, weekly update :
The good news is all of our evening games ran this week with a minimum of 21 boards in 7 rounds, or 24 boards in 8 rounds when we had sufficient tables.
However, none of our daytime tournaments had sufficient support to run (minimum 3 tables). This is understandable considering the longer Summer days, lockdown easing, and the CBAI getting all the Clubs setup with their own BBO platforms.
I’ll give them another week, if you want these games to continue you’ll have to play in them. Otherwise we'll abandon them for now, but try again in September.
If this results in a surplus at the end of June there’ll be an increased prize fund for the May/June honours list and prizes for Sunday 28th June.
Friday evening, 12th June
Winners tonight were Billy Ronan & Pat Cassidy on 65%, cementing their first & second places on the honours list. Second place goes to Margaret Maher & Fedelma Martin, with Bernie Rountree & Mary Flynn in third. Well done all.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
- PrizesFirst, the good news, there will be (modest) prizes for leaders of our Monthly honours list. OK, very modest. The prizes will be in BB$ transferred to your BridgeBase account, and obviously only paid up members qualify.Winners for May are :Joint First : Peter Ryan and Liz Jennings, 4BB$ eachJoint Third : Kieran Connolly & Jim O’Reilly, 2BB$ eachFifth place : Colette Allen, 1BB$I wasn’t kidding about modest !!Congratulations folks, don’t spend it all on the same robot !!And remember, you must have at least two scores to win.
- Registering to playWe have had a few games cancelled because we didn’t have the bare minimum of three tables.Someone mentioned that they hadn’t registered because they were waiting to see how many others would be playing. If everyone follows that strategy nobody would register.To reassure anyone with that concern, if we don’t have three full tables, the game will be cancelled 5 minutes before start. Anyone who has registered will not use up a game credit for a game that doesn’t happen.If we do only have three tables (5 round howell) we can play 4 board rounds, (or 5 board if registered players ask 5 minutes before start).
- Sunday 7pm replaces Wednesday gameThe Wednesday game has been particularly poorly attended. So instead from this Sunday, 7th June, there will be a 7PM game on Sundays, replacing the Wednesday night game.
- Free guestsAs previously announced, for the first week of June any paid up member can bring a guest completely free of charge. This Sunday will be the last day you can do that.
- GuestsHowever, as most of you are not using your full game credit allowance, until the end of August, any paid up member may use their game credits to bring a visitor.
- Monday morning feelingI asked you all whether you would prefer a 10:30 start to the Monday game. Those that responded were pretty evenly divided. In an effort to please everyone from 8th June, the Monday morning game will start at 10:45 a.m.

HONOURS LIST : Interim winners for May
Friday evening, 29th May
It seems the Robots were in poor form tonight, three robots played & it was a close run thing for last.
No such doubt about the winners, first timers Fran Ronan and visitor Sean Connor on 66.25% taking an emphatic victory ahead of Fedelma Martin & Margaret Maher.
RESULTS and BOARDS & TRAVELLERS on BBO as usual.
And that whopping score shoots Fran to the top of our members honours list, but I'm afraid Fran it won't count unless you have at least one more score.
Thursday evening, 28th May
Six tables tonight (well 5 & a half). Honestly it was so crowded it was hard to keep social distancing.
