The Final Say
The six-day Open Butler ended on Thursday afternoon with less than 1 VP separating first and
second.
Well, the time has arrived to say farewell and
thank you to all the Sponsors, Players, Officials
and Volunteers for helping us make the 84th
ANC the best we could deliver for Bridge.
Likewise the margin between the top two in the
Mixed Butler was less than 1 VP. Grrr.
Full results and photos of most of the winners
over the past two weeks are on the inside pages.
Being involved in the guiding and leading of this
event has been the opportunity of a lifetime and I
have enjoyed every minute. Even the challenging ones.
In particular working with my Fellow Gang of four,
Anne, Matt and Murray has been an unbelievable
privilege. Getting to know all the extended team
and volunteers at the Orange Bridge Club and
throughout Bridge in Australia has just been
wonderful.
We hope you all enjoyed yourself and thank you
for investing your valuable resources, financial
and intangible.
See you around.
