Wessex League Celebrations |
Well done to everyone who played in the Wessex League, teams of 8, this year. Both teams did really well. The A team managed to stay in Division 2 for next season by winning their last match! The B team did a brilliant job to be promoted to Division 3 next season.
It's brilliant to see players progress and branch out to teams matches for the club, I'm very proud of you all.
If anyone fancies giving the teams a go next season then please email me abbeybridgelessons@hotmail.co.uk. It would be fantastic to see the club enter another team in Division 4.

Supervised Play Sessions |
These sessions are for those who wish to come along and play in a non competitive environment, where you can ask questions and go through the hands. These sessions will cost £4.50 per person for club members.
It will be most beneficial if you have a group of 4 all at a similar level. Any level of player is welcome and can be accommodated. It would be useful to know if you are coming along as then hands can be prepared accordingly.
Supervised play will restart on Thursday 18th April at 1.30pm to 3pm.

Abbey Smith! |
I was taught Bridge by my Dad when I was 12 years old and have been playing ever since. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to enter junior trials when I was 16 and managed to be selected for the British Junior Squad and the English Under 20s team. In 1995 it was a privilege to be asked to partner Sandra Landy in the Beijing World Championships. At the time I was the youngest player to represent their country at non-junior level for any Nation. The highlight of my international experience was being a member of the British Ladies Team which won the European Championships in Malta in 1999.
More recently my priorities have changed as I am married with 3 young daughters. However, I have started teaching bridge and love it!
