| Latest Avenue achievements |
Many, many congratulations to regulars in our duplicates and Thursday morning bridge class-mates Sheila Lovie & Jill Hassan who won the Stepping Stones Pairs event organised by Horsham BC last Sunday (19th apr). Their winning score of 65.4% put them in front of the field of 72 pairs.
Congratulations to the team who won the Christopher Summers Trophy (the Sussex Inter-Club Teams-of-Eight competition) which is also the county qualifier for the Garden Ciities Trophy. The Avenue BC will now represent Sussex in the Regional Finals on Saturday 8th May.
Very well done too to our two teams in the West Sussex Inter-Club League, who after two rounds of the competition are lying 1st & 2nd. Let us hope that they can continue in the same vein. They play their next matches tomorrow evening and results will be updated on the club website.

| Avenue/Lewes virtual club latest news |
A list of members, a simple guide to using BBO, and a registration guide can be found under the section called BBO information
To help you know who you are playing against when playing in an ABC tournament on BBO, we will maintain this list of member's names and their BBO User Names for your reference. Your name must appear in this list for you to be able to register for the BBO events. If it does not show here then it won't be in the BBO list of players authorised to enter the ABC events either.
If there are any errors or omissions, please email me details to Avenuebridgeclub@aol.com - the data is what we have been given as of Tuesday 20th Apr 2021 10:21
You will find the results in the Results section of this front page.
If there is anyone who is willing to be on standby please let me know. The system cannot run with a half table and alternative solutions are more difficult. The person on standby does not pay, even if they play.
I am sure that our members will be delighted to learn that our friends at West Sussex BC are now able to join us for our online games. Over the years we have had a lot of close ties with West Sussex BC and many of our members are members there also. At this difficult time, it is good that the online bridge community can come together and play.

| DupliCAKE |
Due to the pandemic DUPLICAKE will be suspended until further notice.
A great part of this initiative is the intention to increase the numbers of players playing at the club - particularly amongst the less-experienced.
Consequently, the Duplicake will be run with an eye on the social aspect of the game. Bridge is played in a relaxed atmosphere with a half-time break to socialise built in to the timetable.
Please see poster on the website which is under GENERALNEWS. You may be able to show your bridge playing friends. As mentioned on the poster, members may well find the Duplicake the ideal opportunity to introduce their kitchen-bridge-playing friends to the club. The more, the merrier!
