2. Kaikoura Bridge Club Request
Pair wanted, see below:
Kaikoura BC
are having their 10A tournament this weekend, start time 10.00am Saturday, continuing on Sunday morning, finish around 12.30pm.
We have 10 and a half tables and would like another pair. We will wipe the entry fee for this pair and provide a nights hosted accommodation at one of our members homes if someone would like a terrific weekend in Kaikoura.
They do not need to be Open players.
The problem is this, if no one pulls out prior to Friday, we need them, if someone pulls out we have the correct numbers. So in the current Covid environment, we would notify them on Friday afternoon. Leaving ChCH at 7.00am allows heaps of time to get to Kaikoura, for me it is about 2 hours travel.
PS we have crayfish!
Thanking you in anticipation.
