On King’s Birthday weekend we had a number of club members attend the Hawke’s Bay Congress.

The weekend kicked off on the Friday night with the 3 +1 teams. 18 teams entered and were provided an open player, giving advice and answering any questions at the table. Although the focus of this session was about learning, Hastings players took the top 3 places.
