The Management Committee of the Norfolk Contract Bridge Association, (NCBA), seeks approval from its affiliated clubs to establish a Norfolk County Bridge Centre with its own dedicated premises.  To begin this initiative the NCBA has produced a document outling this proposal asks that all members and clubs review the proposal.

There have been several changes to the NCBA Committee recently.  The NCBA wishes to thank Jayne Scarfe, Musuma Knevitt and Graham Grist for their contibution to bridge in Norfolk and wishes them well in the future.

Joining the NCBA Committee are Jacquie Burgess (Honorary Secretary), Peter Walters (Press Officer), Sarah Chamberlin (management committee).

There is a problem with the display of the result from the Neville Hill Cup results played on Sunday, 30th March.  As a team had to withdraw after 4 matches because one of the players was taken ill the final result, correctly, shows the positions of the 40 teams that finished the event.  The first 4 matches had the original 41 teams participating and because of this difference the data does not appear correctly in the results.  The final scores, match results from each round and positions are unaffected by this.

Here are the victorius members of the West Norfolk and Kings Lynn Bridge Club who won the Committee Cup on February 9th.  Chairman of the NCBC, Peter Cotes, is holding the trophy being presented to the team.

Congratulations to Paul Darby & Steve Dannell who won the regional final of the National Pairs played in Peterborough with an impressive 63.54% - more than 3% ahead of the field.
