Congratulations to Margie Way and Misha Novakovic who ran out winners of the 2022 Open Pairs Championship. 15 pairs took part, with Ed Betteto and David Sykes having a good lead at lunchtime, but an excellent second session gave Margie and Misha the title by just one matchpoint. In third place, by a whisker of 0.01 of a matchpoint, were Elizabeth Mckee and Linda Pollett. Thanks to all who took part in making the event a success.

Also playing were our three other nonagenarians, Tony Saunders, Dorry Lusher and Diana Diel - what a great quartet!
