Dear Members
I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day, whether with a friend, partner, family or a Trip to Auckland on a Qantas Flight to use the first-class lounge.
I would like to thank Rok and Gayle for hosting the event last Friday the 13th of Feb (or Black Friday). As usual a very good variety of food beautifully blended with the Greek delicacies provided by Maverick.
Rok shared that in a couple of weeks he will be enjoying the fruits of being a grandfather, and with the grandchild’s name yet to be announced but will start with the letter “F”. We all hope all goes well for the mother and all and that the family have the opportunity to enjoy many more.
The trophies were awarded to 2025 podium finishes with Developer receiving is champion shirt and trophies. Big Bluff will be sharing the photo’
The results were declared at the end of the evening, and I have attached the official Competition table for 2026 for Game 1/26.
For the evening, Professor won the event and obviously was not impacted by the Friday the 13th curse. So lucky that in one hand 2 people had straight flushes of the same suit. With Professor holding 3 clubs whereas TC Jagger only 2 clubs. Between the 2 they held all remaining clubs with other 4 clubs on the table. The chances of that happening would be extremely rare with 9 players. We need to get the Banker to determine the odds. I would not be surprised that it would 1 in million.
Some other memorable events took place during the evening, including BB introducing the surprise blind wild card ie at his discretion without others knowing when the wild is to be turned. The members quickly objected and advised to not disadvantage other members and dealers now requested to declare upfront when they plan to turn the wild card.
Summarised in the attached table.
First on 10 points Professor.
2nd Punter on 9 points
3rd Maverick 8 Points,
4th Sniper 7 points
5th TC Jagger 6 points
6th Rok 5 points
7th Developer 4 points
8th Big Bluff 3 points
9th Banker 2 points.
From a Treasury point of view will all debts paid Nil Liabilities the BRC Kitty is now $260.( B/F cash $115 plus the 2026 collection of $145)
Look forward to seeing you all in 2026. It appears that the next BRC meeting is set for 17th April 2026 at the Sniper Mosman bunker.
