Hello from Tromso Norway at 70

degrees north and -6 degrees. It is
like fairyland here, so beautiful. Saw
the Northern Lights last night!!
Took the Hurtigruten Ferry from
Bergen to Tromso for 4 nights over
Easter. Would recommend the trip to
everyone. Didn't meet any bridge
players but played Euchre. Heading to
the Island of Svalbard today which is
at 80 degrees North, only 10 degrees
from the top of the world. Will be dog
sledding and hopefully see a polar bear
(from a distance).
Happy Bridging

31st Birthday Party and Dora Wilson Trophy
Life member Pat Boys cut the birthday cake for
62 members to enjoy at the tea break of our 31st
birthday party. When director Dave Parham
declared the result for the Dora Wilson Trophy
both 1st and 2nd place scored more than 70%.
This very seldom happens. The winners were 2nd Jackie & Darrell WILLIAMS
Nick Cantatore & Marnie Leybourne with Dave
Munro & Bruce Fraser 2nd and Leon Randolph &
Alexandra Russell were third.
Easter Congress - another great event
The Easter Congress was strongly supported both
by players who said they enjoyed the keen
completion in a friendly atmosphere and by
members who assisted with catering and by
serving in the kitchen and bar. Bill Kemp in is his
usual calm manner directed the daily events

extremely smoothly. This all added up to the
event being the really great success that many 3rd Alfred & Sheelagh DUPONT
have told me they enjoyed.

2012 Exhibition held last month at the Western
Australian Museum—Maritime.
What has this got to do with our club? Take a 1st Michael Turner and Lyndall Steed
closer look at the spritely blonde in the front row.
She is none other than our own Marilyn West.
Yes, every morning for the past 30 years, at the
crack of dawn, she has been heading down to
Port Beach for a dip with fellow members of the
Polar Bears’ Early Morning Swimming Club.
As the winner of our club’s most improved player
last year, she is surely proof of the adage “a sound
mind in a healthy body”.
Anyone interested in joining the Polar Bears can
contact Marilyn through Melville Bridge Club. 

The Fremantle Bridge Club recently had the great
pleasure of honouring the 100th Birthday of
Daphne Bellett. John and Moira Penman visited
Daphne a few days before at the Sundowner,
Cottesloe and presented her with a card signed

by many - and again by many more members of
3rd Dave Sloan and David Collis
the Club, and a gift, as well as conveying to her
the love of the Club members. Daphne played at
the Fremantle Bridge Club for many years only
retiring a few years ago.

April saw our Handicap Pairs Championship won
by Elizabeth Carter and Deborah Greenway.

The Club has continued with its recent innovation
of a supervision session on Thursday afternoons
from 1 pm to 4 pm. All are welcome.
We look forward to our first Congress for a
number of years - Sunday June 10th 2012 and as
entries are filling fast ensure your entry - on the

BAWA web page. We look forward to seeing old
