Report from Rodney Lighton - TD and Organiser

Despite Manchester's best attempts we couldn't win all the events. As (too) often seems to happen a Liverpool player won the main final. Congratulations to Adrian Jones who beat Birmingham's Matthew Fisher in the final, with Manchester's Brian Lever and Paul Harper losing semi-finalists. The remainder of the trophies, however, went to Manchester players. Peter Snape beat Michael Horne in a very close consolation final and Rodney Lighton won the Last Chance against Dorothy Lee. The one pointer went to Irving Czechowicz who beat Neil Everitt.

The event followed its usual format. An initial entry of 42 players competed (slightly down on previous years). Five rounds of five point matches were played in a Swiss format. Those with four or five wins qualified for the main final together with 8 of 13 who scored three points. The remaining 26 players went into a consolation final. Those who lost early in the main or consolation got entries to the Last Chance.

Everyone enjoyed the day. Lots of backgammon and copious amounts of food. As usal thanks to all who helped to make the event run smoothly. Susan Bourne for taking entries and running the finances, Irving for directing. Annette Jones for scoring. Lorraine Lighton for the buffet tea and scoring. Various Manchester club members for helping to set up the tables. Manchester Bridge Club and Jeff Morris for hosting the event.
