 Each year in February the SCBA holds a 5 day event in most of Surrey's Bridge clubs. This event raises money for a Charity based in Surrey. This year the Woking & Sam Beare Hospices were the chosen Charities. They have a running cost of £8.8 million a year of which only 28% is government funded. So they rely heavily on voluntary income to fund their work.
Over the 5 days 1790 bridge players in 36 clubs took part and raised over £3,706 for the charity. The cheque was presented to the Charity on the 17th march at it’s Weybridge Hospice by Charles Chisnall the President of the SCBA.

| Sep15 Dorin Salver |
 Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People was founded in 1932, and in 1948 the Foundation acquired the Dorincourt Estates in Leatherhead.
In 1956 they set up the Banstead Place Rehabilitation Centre (for brain injuries), who presented the Dorin Salver for our bridge competition.
In 1967, all their centres – there is another one in Carshalton - were amalgamated to become the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for the Disabled, with its headquarters in Leatherhead.
