The National Pairs Finals of the EBU (English Bridge Union) were held at the Hinkley Island Hotel this weekend, 19-20th March 08. I think everyone involved had a great, if not exhausting time.

For my part, I chauffeured my wife and her bridge partner so they could save their energy for the two days of play. Eating, drinking and resting in the Hotels bars and lounges was the order of the day.

I did have the pleasure of listening to a super live band, Mister Sister who had been booked to perform at the British Driving Society’s annual dinner and dance, following their AGM. The band were very professional as detailed on their website do have a look. The BDS appears to be open and welcoming to everyone, their subscription rates were very reasonable in 2006 (when that particular page of their site was last updated)

Oh what a wonderful afternoon we had at On Your Marques . Chris and Jane made us welcome and looked after us as though we were the first visitors of the season, not almost the last.

Jane had prepared a super tea party for the birthday girl and a decorated cake that would make any baker proud.

So, after ham sandwiches with the crusts off, profiteroles (I ate too many) and top quality coffee, we adjourned to the Scalextric track, 45 metres of exciting bends and fast straights. The birthday girl got a Ferrari as a present, so no guesses which car was fastest.

Roll on next season, we will certainly be returning to this excellent attraction, bringing with us the many “children” we know who will no doubt have as much fun as we did.

Thank you again Chris and Jane for a wonderful venue.
