WCIT FELLOWSHIP Inter-Livery Bridge Tournament T he WCIT was well represented at the recent Inter Livery Bridge competition hosted by The Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards at the Drapers’ Hall. There were 64 pairs competing for a variety of prizes including the Flitch prize for the best performance by a husband and wife team. Despite both WCIT pairs being husband and wife that prize went elsewhere! 24 hands were played by each pair during the course of the evening with a break for dinner halfway through. Whether play improved in the second half following the consumption of food and drink is probably debatable. The main prize of the evening was won by a pair representing The Worshipful Company of Butchers with a score of 66.4%. The WCIT pairs came 44 th with a score of 45.62% (David and Ellen Mell) and 56th with a score of 40.68% (David and Ann Rippon).
