COMPETITION AND TROPHY HISTORY

♥ THE CLUB CURRENTLY PLAYS THE FOLLOWING COMPETITIONS. TROPHIES OR/PRIZES ARE AWARDED EACH YEAR.

THE HILBOURNE CUP

Donated by Deidre & David Hilbourne, this competition was conceived to foster wider friendships within the Club.

To qualify a player must be a fully paid up member of the Club and have played a minimum of five times. Each round must be played with a different partner who should also be a member of the club.

All sessions will be played as a one winner movement and will be scored in the normal manner and, for each round played, individual results will be recorded for each player. This will comprise their finishing position.

The best 5 finishing positions will be aggregated to provide a total for the year. Any or all of the rounds played will be entered into the competition. If a member has played more than once with the same partner then only the result from the earliest date they played together will be considered.

A cut must be taken before a session to determine N/S and E/W polarity of each pair.

The cup will be awarded to the player with the smallest number of finishing position points

THE ALASTAIR GRAHAM TROPHY

The Alastair Graham Trophy was donated to the Club by Jay Graham, wife of our late Chairman. Alastair always felt that our Annual Event was a particularly important date in the Club's calendar and this trophy is presented to the pair who win the one session pairs event on this very popular occasion. At least one of the winning pair must be a Cub member.

THE OLIVER HANSON CUP

The Oliver Hanson Cup was presented to the Club by his fellow committee members in his memory and is awarded to the player with the highest average calculated from the 20 best scores achieved between January and the end of December. Only games played with both players being members can be counted.

THE CROSS IN HAND SILVER SALVER

Each year we play a friendly Teams match against Crowborough Bridge Club for this silver salver.

MONDAY NIGHT - REALBRIDGE GIBBONS CUP

This cup was donated by Christine Gibbons for the committee to decide how they would like to use it. It has been decided that this cup will be awarded to the Monday Night Realbridge Player with the highest percentage over 20 games.

PUNNETTS TOWN VILLAGE HALL

Punnetts Town Village Hall is our home and we are the only EBU affiliated club within the Heathfield area . The club started life in 1985 with a small group of enthusiastic players enjoying their game at the Bridge Inn, Stonegate and we called ourselves the Bridge Inn Club. Sadly the landlord changed and we were asked to move and then began a succession of "homes" - the Conservative Club in Burwash, The Crown at Blackboys and the Cross in Hand Inn.

We put our roots down when we moved to the Waldron Church Hall in Cross in Hand and changed our name to Cross in Hand Bridge Club. The club grew and developed into a well respected club where games were competitive but friendships were forged.

When the building was sold for re-development in 2010 we had the good fortune to be able to move to the lovely new village hall in Punnetts Town - but we are still the Cross in Hand Bridge Club!
