One Foundation: has been kind enough to grant Putaruru Bridge Club enough money to replace all of our chairs. Once again our chairs will have padding in them! Thank you One Foundation

Trust Waikato

Hi Everyone
Trust Waikato have granted the Putaruru club $1,000 towards the cost of a new scoring computer. This will replace our 8+ year old laptop for scoring, dealing etc.

A huge thankyou to Trust Waikato for this donation, which will go a long way towards the club's future sustainability.

Waikato Blues

Both Putaruru and Tokoroa had teams at the Cambridge Sixes (with a little help from some new friends from Huntly and Waitomo).

Above are Ross, Bev, Eileen and Helen from Putaruru.

No prizes, except for in the raffle but everyone had a fun day.

Waihou Trophy

Last Sunday it was Waihou Trophy time again and, this year, the trophy is returning to Putaruru!
Eileen Barker and Helen Haigh were the top pair on the day with Putururu pairs occupying the top 4 spots, and no Putaruru pair scoring under 50%.

Putaruru v Matamata

Thanks to Matamata for being such great guests - better luck next time!

Prompted by club member Dean Gittings, the Putaruru Club donated approximately 28 packs of playing cards to their local primary school. In response, the club received a mountain of beautiful thank you cards complete with individual messages from the pupils who made them. The players thoroughly enjoyed reading through them during their tea break.
