Bridge Trophy In Memory Of Avid Player

Pamela Finger won the Anne Hird Memorial Trophy, playing with Eric Goodchild, Lorna Shuttlewood and Barbara Tait, three different players over three weeks. To encourage novice players the Anne Hird Memorial Trophy can only be won once per player.

Anne Hird was an avid Contract Bridge player and had many bridge partners. The Mackay Contract Bridge Club said in a statement that Anne was a wonderful person and friend.
