 The Oxford University Alumni Bridge Association took root early in 1997, leading to an annual September weekend congress at Wadham College and the introduction of team matches during the year. As affiliates of the Oxford University Society (OUS) our events are publicised in Oxford Today. For more information about OUS visit www.alumni.ox.ac.uk. At the weekend congress we hold duplicate pairs competitions, our major event being for the Alumni Cup, and also teams of four and Chicago. We also make time for a short and instructive bridge seminar, conducted by one of our leading players. All alumni and current students, whatever their experience or standard, are welcome, and we are happy to accommodate those who can participate in only part of the weekend. During the year, we enjoy matches with teams of four or eight against the House of Lords, our Light Blue counterparts and the Oxford & Cambridge Club, and we are continually seeking to widen our scope in this direction. We welcome new ideas, new matches and new members. If you would like to join OUABA there is a once-only Life Membership of £10 per person or £15 per married couple. New Members should send an e-mail to the Membership Secretary, Malcolm McIver at malcolm.mcivor@btinternet.com, giving their e-mail and postal address, who will give instructions as to how payment can be made. For further details contact our Treasurer, Roger Van Noorden at roger.vannoorden@hertford.ox.ac.uk. |
