Local Bridge Achievements

In Ithaca, age has not stopped some of our players from winning – and not just winning, but winning BIG.  Recently, Flo De Remer had a 75.3% game  the week she turned 96 with partner Courtenay Footman and Lou Wallace pulled in a 79.18% a week after his 93rd birthday with partner Dana Russell.

There is no argument – bridge keeps the mind young!  There have been many articles touting the benefits of bridge over the years – here is one that I found:

Unit NAP this weekend

This past weekend was the NAP games for flight A and C. Flight A winners included Dan Boye, from our unit!

UPDATE -
Unfortunately – we did not have enough turn-out in Fairport to have anyone from Unit 112 compete for the District 4 NAP top spots.  I want to know – did people not come because they didn’t know about the event?  or were B level players unavailable or did they play in Buffalo?

For those of us who drove to Fairport for the event – it was disappointing. Hopefully, we can learn from this error and be better represented at the NAP events in the future.
————————————————-
This coming weekend is the flight B event.  1/2 the event  is now in Fairport and starts at 11 am - not Lakeville – at this location: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/8-r7e47DC8*aG*UAxt#  Please remember you need to have qualified in order to play.

Binghamton Sectional (in Endwell)

This past weekend was the Unit 112 Binghamton Sectional.  I attended on Saturday.  The hosts of this tournament did a great job, yet very few unit 112 members from anywhere outside of the Binghamton area were able to appreciate this.  The hospitality was wonderful.  Members from the local area brought home-made goodies for the players to snack on throughout the day.  There was smoked salmon and cream cheese, fresh made cakes, all kinds of crackers, veggies, dips and other snacks.  

Before the second session, a trophy and cake were presented to honor the local player (who starts with 0-20 masterpoints) that achieved the greatestnumber of masterpoints during the year. 

The Binghamton Sectional is more than just a local tournament.  It provides a forum to honor the achievements of their local players and the local players take pride in the event.  Hopefully next year we will see more faces from around the region – it’s worth the drive.
