Congratulations Terry, Silver Grand Master!

Last week, 32 members and friends of Taree Bridge Club celebrated with Terry Bodycote on reaching the lofty heights of Silver Grand Master. Surpassing 2500 Master Points is an outstanding achievement which, as Terry himself admitted, takes a lot of hours and resources (editor's note: not to mention a good deal of skill). Well done, Terry!

We thank Sue for making the event special with delicious home-made Silver Grand Master Cupcakes. (It looked like Terry would break the record in cupcake eating as well.) Parts of Sue's lovely speech follow:

"It’s always exciting to be able to celebrate a promotion in the bridge ranks.

From when we first make Graduate Master to wherever each of us ranks today, we share a journey. The higher you rise, the longer it takes and the more it costs you – both financially and in innumerable sacrifices which need to be made along the way.

We are delighted to draw attention to a wonderful milestone which one of our bridge family has reached. Terry Bodycote has been promoted to the rank of Silver Grand Master.

Congratulations Terry!  Thank you for letting us share this happy occasion with you."
