The 25th HB Congress is over for another year. 

The event was held at the Taradale Community Club, home of the Taradale Bridge Club, for the first time this year. 

The event was well attended with 59 tables in play on Monday - 88 pairs in the Swiss Pairs, 6 pairs in the novice and 6 teams each in the Open Teams Final & Plate. 

The results for all events are recorded elsewhere and can also be accessed through the results links on the website. Unfortunately, due to a technical hitch, the teams results are not yet uploaded to the Pianola website but are available on the second link provided in the earlier news item.

The 25th event was celebrated with a dinner/dance on Sunday evening attended by 200 players and 'officials', with entertainment from Wyn Drabble, local raconteur, who provided musical entertainment early in the evening and during dinner and then amused, with an entertaining discourse on "Games".

Another successful congress done and dusted. 

See you all next year.
