Thetable usually made up by Brown,Hewlett,Hunter and Kim (until he left at the end of the second term)- with intense rivalry between Brown/Hunter and Howlett/Kim -made the best progress in understanding the intricacies ofthis very difficult game.The table normally made up by Mapengo,Oitlepp,Zikalala andZumacould not befaulted for enthusiasm but their real understanding of the game was rather disappointing. The other regular members had generally made slow but sure progress by the end of the year. However if, as the members say they would like to, the club is to arrange matches against outside opposition, or the staff, in the future they will need to raise the overall standard-both in bidding and in the playing ofa hand - considerably. You cannot refer to notes when playing in a match.
