The Wisteria Hall at Blue Wren winery was packed with players entering from the local and surrounding regions, as well as from further afield.

Games played at a congress level are for Red Masterpoints, above the green earned at a local level, with only super congress gold points worth more, which are tallied for a player’s overall ‘Masterpoints’.
