She was in the teams which won the League in 1971, 84 & 85. and won the Championship Pairs in 1973 & 82. She fell and died shortly after one club night in 1985. The Daphne Torburn Trophy has been competed for every year in her memory since her death, the first winners being Don Porter & Barbara Randall, the most recent Carol & Richard.

Barnstaple Trophies
The Amos Bridgman Salver
The Amos Bridgman Salver recognises an outstanding contribution over 35 years to bridge in North Devon. For many years Amos as chairman was the driving force within the club. Members will remember his charm and his warm welcome to all, as well his tireless efforts in promoting the game and including everyone whowanted to play. We owe him much.
The salver is awarded to the individual who has the highest attendance in the season and has not won any other trophy in the season. In the case of a tie the salver is awarded to the member with the highest master point total. The attendance and master point values are as recorded on the website. In 2014 the award went to Patrick Keeley.

Many members of Barnstaple Club joined other enthusiasts at Taw Vale on Monday 29th September to learn from Andrew Robson.  Andrew, as ever, was both amusing and informative, and with his magic cards gave us all real insight into the placing of cards as declarer.  We are sure that this will show benefits to our play in the future and we are grateful to the DBA for arranging and underwriting Andrew's seminar.
