We have now created a separate page for liaison with clubs and to display issues of the EBU Club Committee Bulletin produced by Margaret Eddleston our representative for Herts, Beds, Essex and Middlesex. The latest bulletin reprints an article by Jeremy Dhondy about unusual systems and asks the question should they be allowed in all EBU congresses or limited? Your response please to Margaret.

Background to recent changes
This website provides details of all bridge clubs in the County that are affiliated to the Association and to the English Bridge Union. The county organises a number of competitions and leagues at County level. We also encourage teaching of bridge throughout the County. Full details of all these activities are provided on this website.
The County played their last match of the season on 7th Feb against Cambridge University. The A team won 16-4, the B team won 17-3 and the C team drew. The B team are now leading their division and look likely to stay in that position, but are now dependant on what others do.
The A team are in 2nd position but the C team have had a poor season and are in the lower half of their division

Congratulations to Maria Budd and Malcolm Harris winners of the Championship Pairs semi-Final.
Well done to the top 24 pairs who have qualified for the Final which takes place at the bridge Centre on 25th April. For full results of the semi-final click on the box at the right hand side.
In the Final of the HBA Cadet Pairs Championship there was a tie for first place between Mike Ayers / Marie Craig and Pam Green / Johanna Mason. The two pairs share the master points and the glory but there can only be one trophy holder.
The decision was very close but the tie-break procedure eventually determined that
Pair 12 Mike Ayers / Marie Craig will be the Trophy Holders.
Congratulations to both pairs.
The Master Points for this event are generous as it it is the final stage of a larger competition that includes all the qualifying heats.
