Rocking in River Rock.

The Vancouver Regional final table count was 1510 at the end of the tournament, 50% more then two years ago! Much thanks have to go to tournament chair Cam Doner, Monica Angus, Jane Youngberg and their team of volunteers.

 

It was announced that the next Regional had been booked in the same location, the River Rock Hotel Casino 7th April – 13, 2014. Better make plans early.

Bruce McIntyre better known in this parts as McBruce, did a fantastic job with the Daily Bulletin. He also duplicated all the boards for the Regional. 

 

Playing with Keith Dowdall, Jadwiga Polujan and Bob Gwirtzman. We won the Peter Morse KO Team on Saturday. Thanks team, everybody played well.

Keith and I bid and made this slam which helped us to the win.
