| Cheltenham Team wins NICKO |
One of the three Cheltenham Bridge Club teams (Richard Chamberlain, Paul Denning, Patrick Shields and Garry Watson - with help from Richard Butland) has won the 2024/2025 EBU National Interclub Knock-Out. This is the first time Cheltenham Bridge Club has won this event, beating the Guernsey BC team in the final (by 105 to 90). This was their best performance since 2017 when the same team lost in the final to Tunbridge Wells, having lost three finals in the decade before that to Southampton, Manchester and Cambridge. Well done team – you’ve done your club proud!

| Congratulations to our New Pairs Champions |
Alastair Catchpole and Steve Evans are the worthy winners of this year's Championship Pairs competition. They finished in the top spot in 2024 and in third place in 2023 - a tough track record to break! Well done also to this year's runners-up, Roger Eaton and Ted Phillips who took silver, and to Alan Wearmouth and Tony Hill with bronze.

| Ask the Experts |
Do you ever play a hand, think you have done really well, and then when you see the results find you are in bottom place? We know some of you like to study those hands at home, but still end up scratching your heads and wondering what you could have done differently.
Help is now at hand with our "Ask the Experts" service. Find it on the club's home page under the "Learn Bridge" menu item. This will give you instructions on how to use the service.
Once you have sent in your query, an expert Bridge player will get back to you with some answers which will also be published in an Ask the Experts - Answers section (also on the club's home page under the "Learn Bridge" menu item)
