Richard Currie Swiss Pairs
Dr Russel Allan, Douglas Currie
and Graham Davison
The Richard Currie Swiss pairs Charity
Event (held on Sunday, 1st of August) was a huge celebration of
Richard's (bridge ) life. Fifty six pairs competed over 6 rounds
of 8 board matches. Just over 60% of the pairs were from Farnham
Bridge Club itself, the remaining couples were warmly welcomed
from all over Surrey and even beyond.
The event ran truly smoothly, no
surprise there either, with the Senior County Director Neil Morley
at the helm. The worthy winners (pictured with Richard's father
Douglas Currie) handing over the magnificent Trophy) were Dr Russel
Allan and Graham Davison with a staggering 103 points. Runners-up
Lorne Anderson and James Bond just pipped Margaret and Paul Kirton
at the finish by one point. The Ascending prize was won by John
Amor (one of Richard's longstanding partners) and John Clayton.
MacMillan Nurses received a cheque
of £ 1300, as almost 800 raffle tickets chased a good number
of very attractive prizes. The organisers Barrie Cavell and Patrick
Hodson helped by Mike O'Donnell ought to be congratulated.
No doubt this Charity event
could well become an annual fixture on the calendar.
Barrie Cavell and
Neil Morley(Director)
Surrey County Bridge Association
Farnham Bridge Club would like to
congratulate Mac Derwig on his election to the position of Surrey
CBA Chairman.
