Your committee recently reaffirmed its commitment to BB@B.

This particularly important now that every member of the club is also a member of the EBU.

But what is BB@B?

The answer is on the News Page

The Charity Shield competition in the memory of  Bryan Crowther was held on Monday 19th April at which the table monies were swelled by an additional £30, collected from the members that evening.  A WONDERFUL EFFORT - Thank you to all those who contributed.  The item was discussed in committee and it was decided to raise the amount to £100. A cheque for this amount will be sent to the local branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society with a covering letter written by Alan White....

Please contact Roger Gaudoin who will try to find you a partner.

Now that being a member of LBBC confers membership of both EBU and BBA too  we shall list County events in our calendar.

Naturally we hope that attendance at County events will be on the increase.

Table Money at County events is £4 per session and this includes refreshments.

We are using a variety of movements to accommodate a variety of table numbers. Our premise is to avoid a 3 board sit-out wherever that is possible. We are using  straight Mitchell,  share and relay Mitchell,  skip Mitchell,  Hesitation Mitchell ,  Howell and Bowman movements. For all but ordinary Mitchell movements the table card shows the next move and the Bridgepad also shows the next move.

Sometimes, of course, the nature of an event dictates the movement, eg a single winner movement is required when a trophy is at stake.

As long as everyone waits for the director to call the move there really should be no problem but don't forget to keep the board in the middle of the table pointing in the right direction!
