Bishop Auckland Bridge Club (EBU Affiliated)

Club Founded - 8th April 1976

President - Brian Myers

Thirty two current and past members of Bishop Auckland Bridge Club celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the club's founding at the Green Tree in Tudhoe with a delicious two course meal followed by a session of Duplicate Bridge for the Anniversary Trophy which was won by Jean Hattersley and David Hall with a score of 65.79%. Guest of Honour Adrian Darnell, the current Chair of the EBU and past member of Bishop Auckland Bridge Club, presented the trophy and prizes to John and Allan Blackett, second with a score of 64.52% and spot prizes to Beryl Thomson and Pauleen Short, and Frank Bouweraerts and Irina Hendrickx. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces from earlier days and special thanks to those who made a significant journey to be there.
