Winners of the Bridge Lake Duplicate Bridge Club's B.J (Dean) Deane-Freeman award Sue Brown

Bridge Lake Duplicate Bridge Club held its annual Christmas tournament at the home of club manager Johann Miller and her husband, Ken, on Dec. 13.

Four tables played 21 boards for an average score of 31 1/2 points, and the B.J. (Dean) Deane-Freeman Christmas Trophy went to sisters Polly Black and Sue Brown with 35 1/2points.

Second place was a three-way tie, at 34 1/2 points, between Carney Myers and Mary Shennum, Sharon and Danny Stewart, and Ralph Fossum and Jozef Stencel.

In honour of Friday the 13th, in the year 2013, Johann devised a scheme whereby the names of everyone who scored 130 points in any one hand went into a draw. That draw was won by Gyl Connaty and Joyce Schwab, who received delightful little Christmas stockings generously donated by Lorraine Faessler.

The top-scoring pair award, for the year September 2012 to June 2013, went to Fossum and Stencel, and the top-scoring individual award went to Sharon Stewart.

The door prize, a beautiful natural Christmas wreath, was won by Schwab.

The club is most grateful to the Millers for hosting the annual tournament, and reminds players that the club reconvenes 6:45 p.m. on Jan. 9 at Bridge Lake School.
