Finally, here's something to show the Gold Coast Congress is not all about winners, well not winners

at the bridge table, at least.

.

Auckland's Wendy McEntegart, Nicolette Bartoli, Setsuko Lichtnecker and Peer Bach (in no particular order..is that

Peer with the tie?!) won the "dress emerald" competition which took place to celebrate 55 years of this Congress. With St Patrick's Day just around the corner, expect to see the four of them stay green for the next three weeks!
