Congratulations to Malcolm & Steve on winning the Championship Pairs for the Jubilee Cup.

The next competition will be the first session of the Swiss Teams on February 1. Please enter on the entry sheet on the noticeboard.

Rules for all competitions can be found under"Competitions". Please note that, except for the finals of the Pairs and Mixed Pairs Championships there will be no other duplicate bridge on competition night. Rubber and/or Chicago may be available.

Reminder from the Directors

Use of the Stop card

Before making a jump bid the Stop card should be placed on the table and left there for about 10 seconds after the bid is made.

The next player (LHO) should not call until the Stop card is picked up.

The purpose of this Regulation is to give LHO a chance to think (or not!) without it becoming obvious to their partner.
