Scottish Bridge Union: East DistrictScottish Bridge Union: East District
Congratulations to Jim McDowall who won the East District Individual competition at the Melville on 16th September. Alastair White was runner up, with Tom Bagnall third.
This was Jim’s second success in the tournament, having won it in 2010.
Congratulations to Kenny Watson from Peebles, who (playing with Martin Garvey) won the Congress Swiss Pairs event, played over three days from 8-10 September. Kenny reports a decent standard, green pointed,with one or two big hitters playing, including John Holland.
Following an appeal, Sandy Duncan and Bob McPaul have been declared the winners of the Chalmers Trophy last Saturday. As you will have seen, there was a three-way tie for first place. The rules on splitting this are quite complex, and this was not done correctly on the day. We apologise for any confusion.
Congratulations to Bob McPaul and Sandy Duncan, winners of the newly launched ED Swiss Pairs event for the Chalmers Cup. Full Chalmers results at Melville site.
With only 2 VPs covering the top 5, this was a close affair! Losing out on split ties were Harry Smith & Roy Bennett and Iain Sime & Fiona McQuaker. All three top pairs finished on 96VP.
Top Bronze pair were Rose Simpson & Kathy Whaler. Best Silver (on 94) were Andrew Harborough & Tom Bagnall.
The league fixtures were decided at the League Secretary's meeting on 5th September, and are now available on the "league" page. Don't forget to check with opps that you are in agreement so avoid confusion later!
The draw for the MacLaren Cup knockout event is now available, check it out here.
We re-introduced an East District Congress this season, providing a Red Pointed weekend at the Melville on 1st and 2nd September, incorporating and expanding on the Watson Trophy for Teams.

Runners up were Derek Sanders, Alex Adamson, John Murdoch and Iain Sime, and with the top Silver pair in 3rd - Jane Stephenson, Rosemary McKinnel, Rose Simpson and Kathy Whaler, the Silver prize was awarded to Peter Cairns, Jim McLaughlin, Shirish Chotai and Les Verth.
