Cafe Bridge, held in Coventry city centre or a surburb of Coventry. This is a relaxed pairs competition. The picture shows the resumption of the event on Wednesday 27th, April 2022.

On Tuesday 18th April there were forty bridge players wandering the streets of Coventry city centre and enjoying the Coventry Cafe Bridge 2023. It was lovely that Coventry members were joined by those of Stratford, Rugby and West Midlands clubs too. The sun shone, no one got lost, and some bridge was played, so everyone had a good day out.

The winners in both directions were visitors to Coventry: Sue Harris and Zena Hutchinson won North/South, with Pete Phillipson and Mick Smith runners up; whilst Pat Watson and Carolyn Fisher won East/West, with Val and Andy Waugh runners up.

Thanks to Martin Lythell, Ann Ridgway and Val Waugh for organising the event, to the cafes for accommodating us, and to all who took part. Full results available Cafe Bridge Hands and Analysis available.

Congratulations to the winners Gail Wickes & Thierre Jones, and  Peter Stubbs & Mike Fletcher (full results).  Many thanks to: Andy & Val for organising the entries,  Martin for Directing & Scoring,  and Ann & Pam for everything else especially organising the venues.  The accounts are still to be finalised but we expect to be able to make a contribution of over £275 to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.  An enjoyable day of playing Bridge.

Held in four venues in Coventry city centre - thanks to Metropolis, Wagamama, Cosy Club and the Slug and Lettuce
