| EBU CLUB CHAMPIONS PRIZE DRAW |
The highest points scorers at each club in England go into an annual prize draw, and the winner for 2013 is Brian Colvin, secretary of St. Austell BC, whose 570 points earned him a cool £400 first prize ... that's 70 pence for every point he won during the year. Congratulations, Brian!

| Introduction |
 |
There are currently 13 bridge clubs in Cornwall that are affiliated to the English Bridge Union (EBU). They meet on a variety of weekday evenings.
Most county events are held on Sundays between September and April at Ladock village hall, just east of Truro.
The County hosts two events open to all members of the EBU. In Spring, the three day Cornish Congress (Sunday's Swiss Teams is a Green Point event) is held in the attractive maritime town of Falmouth, and in late September, a one day Green Point Swiss Teams event is held, for the first time in 2013, in Launceston in East Cornwall.

| Launch of New Bridge Initiative in the County |
 |
A county-wide push to attract more players to bridge has been launched with advertisements and an editorial in the West Briton and the Cornish Guardian. A poster has been produced (see News page) which was emailed to all club secretaries, requesting their help in placing them in golf clubs, WIs, and other suitable places. Please alert anyone you know who might be interested.
Please see the Bridge Tuition page for contact details of bridge teachers in your area. |
