With the Fall Regional going on up the road in Nashua, NH, we expected a smaller
 than usual crowd, and I was pleased when 7 3/4 tables showed up.  I played to fill
 in the movement to an even 8 tables.  With fewer tables, we would likely have had
 to play a Howell movement, but with eight tables, we could play a relay and bye-
 stand movement which permits all pairs to play all of the 24 boards.

No corrections were reported at the club, and my complete rechsecking found only
 one problem:
  Board 1  NS 4 v EW 7  -480 not -780  my funblefingers
Neither pair involved was in contention and no scores changed by more that 1/2
 MP, so this correction had no effect on the rankings.

Congratulations to Lew Gamerman and Sheila Gabay for the best score in the room
 at over 63%. but only 1/2 MP ahead of Larry Gray and Neela Dandekar.

With only one section, I award Free Plays to only two pairs, the section tops. 
 Marina and Marlene were first East-West, by a full board over David Gross and
 Steve Root.

Next Monday is a Club Championship, and there will be an IMP Pairs game in
 three weeks.

Thank you all for coming!
