It is with great sadness that we hear of the death of Chris Parkin, a former member of Leighton Buzzard Bridge Club.

Chris was a founder member of the Bedfordshire Bridge Association and had held numerous offices, the last as Vice Chairman.  We shall remember Chris as a courteous  and considerate man who was always ready with a smile and a helping hand, and we shall miss him.

The funeral will take place at The Priory Church of St Peter in Dunstable at 11am on Monday 14th May.

We send our condolences to his family.

The EBU is celebrating its 75th year in a final flourish with a special set of Simultaneous Pairs during May, We are holding this event on Monday 14th May.

Each hand is taken from historic matches of the 1930's, with specially commissioned commentary by Brian Senior.  Each hand will include a description of what happened and what should have happened. So test your skill against a famous 1930's player!

Those Clubs taking part will receive some free commentary souvenir booklets and the winners a specially printed 75th Anniversary Simultaneous Pairs certificate. A true collectors item

We play teams on the first Monday of the month.

Please diary these events and plan your team of four for these occasions.

Next Teams evening 11th June

On Monday 21st May the Club will be holding its Annual Charity Event. The shield for this event was donated by the widow of Brian Crowther  a former member of LBBC. Every year the Committee decides the local charity that will receive our donations. This year we have chosen The Keech Hospice which gives specialist paliative care for Adults and Children with Life-limiting  conditions.

On the evening the table money remains the same, but we hope members will give a little extra for this worthy cause.  All monies received will be donated to the Charity.
