Alexandrina Results for 16 September 2020

 This day we used Bridgemates for the first time. With the reduced numbers attending South Australian Bridge Association (rebranding as SA Bridge Assoc) main and satellite sessions, the Blogger received a favourable response when he asked if Alexandrina Club might hire 10 Bridgemates while we raised the money to buy our own.

We have been able to afford our own Bridgemate Server and we will see what the future holds.
