No sooner are Putaruru in X Club than one of our beginners from lessons is posting amazing results for the club. Top of the room on Monday at the club, they went into a pool of clubs nationwide playing the same boards in X Club. Jan and partner Anne Berben came third across NZ out of 196 pairs. Great stuff Jan - keep it up!

FRIENDS WITHOUT FACEBOOK ... a short story submitted by Eileen

Presently I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. So every day, I go along the street and tell people what I have eaten, how I feel, what I have done the night before, and what I will do after. I give them pictures of my family, my dog and me gardening and spending time in my pool. I also listen to their conversations and I tell them I "Like" them. AND IT WORKS! I already have three people following me - two police officers and a psychiatrist.

PATRICIA JOHNSON AND DORA DAVIES 5TH ACROSS THE NATION!

Putaruru came online at X Club Monday night. You can see how your score matched up by looking on the Results tab and clicking on X Club. Find the ladder for Monday night and you will see how Putaruru pairs did against all other X Club members playing the same boards in NZ last night. Congratulations to Patricia and Dora for showing they have the X Factor!

WILLY REVIVES TOKOROA RESULTS FROM TUESDAY

Willy with help from Michael Neels has been able to produce a result for last week. A little uncertain currently as to whether it will be possible to incorporate them into a ladder and keep that result in the series. To Be Confirmed ... but you can see your result although not the board details . Congratulations to Warren and Allen and Vera and Ron Sowden.

WARREN AND RON SECOND ACROSS THE NATION

Not only did Warren and Ron Sowden finish top of the room in Tokoroa last night ... they finished 2nd across NZ. Sandy Davies and rookie Allen Cant finished 5th across the country. This was out of the 150 pairs playing the same hands nationwide last night. Many congratulations to them!
The conclusion of the Welcome Pairs series saw rookie Helen Haigh with seasoned campaigner Ngaire Fisher (on hot form following her return from Alaska - perhaps we should all go?) victorious. Well played ladies!

PUTARURU WIN SPA TOWN TEAMS
