Peter Reed was determined
that the ANC be at a
NSW Regional Venue
Bathurst BC President Dick Ellis with
Nick Van Vucht & Bruce Crossman
plus Jay Novak from Stepbridge
As the search for a venue was proceeding back
in 2017, there was a lot of enthusiasm throughout
regional NSW to be selected as the location for
the then 2021 ANC.
At the time, Peter Reed was the force behind
Wellington Bridge Club as well as a regular at Orange and Dubbo.
His enthusiasm was infectious not only with the
NSWBA but also the local clubs and was a key ingredient in engaging – as it has now turned out to
be – the Orange Bridge Club as the organisers.
That enthusiasm flowed into our hosts at the Orange Ex-services Club.
Since that time Peter has moved to Adelaide to
continue his retirement including plenty of bridge.
Mind you he is returning to play in the Orange
Pairs.
Thank you, Peter.
Sachiko Cathcart & Trish Berry

Two rounds to go in the ITS
Who will miss out after today's final two
matches? The final starts tonight at 5 pm.
I miss the days when it was just IMPs +/-, with a
cut-off. Then I knew that zero was average. Now
it's hard to know. After 12 rounds, the politically
correct average score is 35 x 12, so 420.
