Another milestone for the Hawke's Bay Congress as we prepare for our 30th event. We had our first 3+1 Teams event last year which proved to be very popular and will be running the event again this year. 3 players are teamed up with an expert player for a 3 match event. The expert plays with each of the others for one match. Players wanting to play in this event should email the congress secretary to enter. bjandjaboxall@xtra.co.nz
We are running for the 1st time a Novice Interclub Teams event on Monday and will run a Novice Pairs event on Sunday. Entry to the Pairs event is online and those clubs wanting to enter a team should email the congress secretary. bjandjaboxall@xtra.co.nz
The remainder of the programme is the same as it has been for the past couple of years. Details are available on the Events tab.
