Congratulations to Jane Smith, our Club Player of the Year and to Heidi
Dyson, our Junior Player of the Year.

The Club Player competition was based on points earned during the 173 open
games held since 7 February 2022.  Jane earned 88.02 masterpoints, well
ahead of Gertie Barker (80.71) and Margie Way (76.13).  

The Junior award was limited to points earned at Tuesday evening games and
Junior/Novice Championships, and remained close right up to the last game
held just before Christmas.  Heidi earned 6.11 masterpoints, just ahead of
Neil Gilbertson (5.84) and Ben Stone (5.64).

Well done to all players in both categories, whose support of the Club since
it resumed normal operations post-Covid is much appreciated.
