HELEN SHIELDS CANADIAN ROOKIE-MASTER GAME WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27,2009

24 clubs took part in our annual Helen Shields Rookie-Master Game, which is named in memory of Helen Shields. Helen, who was from Thunder Bay, was a past President of the Canadian Bridge Federation. Helen was very active in teaching and introducing new players to duplicate bridge. The St. Lambert BC had the largest turnout with 30 tables or 60 pairs. The Bridge Centre of Niagara came in second with 28 tables. The Rideau Bridge Club and Gatineau Bridge Club each with 24 tables were next. The CBF would like to express its appreciation to Larry Hansen for doing the analysis for this event.
