Thursday 16 April - 1.30pm - Championship Teams - No host available 

This is one of our club competitions. The winners will be recognised at our AGM and receive an award. You can turn up as a team of four - there are no restrictions. In order to be eligible to be called a winner, all team members must be members of our club. Visitors are allowed to participate.

You can turn up as a pair and be teamed up on the day; only if other pairs also turn up without a team. There is no host pair available (unless two members want to volunteer). If there isn’t an even number of pairs turning up without a team, the last complete pair arriving will have to go home.

Sunday 26 April - 1.30pm to 5.30pm - Mentored Novice Pivot Teams, West Midlands Bridge Club, Solihull 

Teams should consist of a mentor and 3 students with up to 4 years playing experience and with less than 2,500 master points. Cost is £24.00 per team = £8.00 per student to include tea and coffee. I recommend this great event for students. Please sign up at our Bridge Club or the chairman.
