On Line Teams for Taupo Bridge Members
Well Done to all the teams over the last month. You are all winners. These matches are now completed. Only eight points separated the top 3 teams which gave a very close contest.
Thank you Christine, David and Sheila for your help in setting up some of these matches and the other leaders for organising your matches. Please Click Here to find the final results. Don’t come to bridge if you are unwell, or have been in close contact with someone who is unwell. If someone in your family has just returned from overseas we strongly recommend that you don’t come to bridge for 14 days after the date of their return. In particular, because the early symptoms of infection with the coronavirus are the same as a cold, do not come to bridge if you have a cold. The directors / convenors have the power to send members home if they appear to be unwell. The coronavirus spreads the same way as the cold viruses spread. By coughs, sneezes, and by touching an object or surface with viral particles on it, and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Hygiene when playing Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, or you can cough or sneeze into your sleeve If you are worried about contamination wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use the hand - sanitizer.

This is suitable for players of all abilities. We encourage as many players as possible to participate in this new format. Invitational Pairs This is the first Wednesday Handicap competition, starting at the beginning of February. “The Invitational Pairs are to introduce more players to Wednesday nights.
