V&D Top Ten and Bronze Medallion

WVLBC is in the FINAL of the Top Ten!  I’ve been a member for six years, and I can’t remember that happening before.

The Top Ten tournament is played between all the V&D Clubs, some of which enter two teams.  Each club selects a singles player, a mixed pairs team, a triples team and a fours team to compete in a knockout tournament.  We have been very lucky to have played at home all three games, besting Stanley Park, North Vancouver and then Maple Ridge in the semi-final last Friday.  We meet Richmond in the final, which is booked for Friday, September 6th and will be played on neutral turf (probably Granville Park) but we will let you know nearer the time.

So well done to Jim, Tim, Sue, Graham, Janice, Werner, Howie, Pat, Brian, Olivia, Grethe and Jack for getting us there!  I know that’s more than 10, but Brian and Olivia were away for the last game, so Howie and Grethe stepped in.

In other news:

Bronze Medallion – Saturday, August 3rd: A gorgeous day, and a full house, with 32 teams competing for a very significant amount of prize money. We had a good turnout from our members, Werner, Dorothy, Stuart, Monica, John, Sue and Jim.  We played four 10 end games, and the Stanley Park team of Cheryl and Neil won all four of their games, placing first.  Jim partnered with Priscilla and took third place.  Always the thank yous go to the convenor Myrle, to the set up crew, David and Coca, Stuart, Jim and Jack, and to Pat, assisted by Deb, who as always made sure the snacks lived up to our very favourable reputation.
