| Garden Cities 2025 |
 The Avenue BC has won the Garden Cities Trophy, the EBU's national championship for all bridge clubs, in the national final played at West Midlands BC, Solihull on Saturday. To qualify for the national final, the club had to win the Sussex heat and then qualify from the home counties regional final (which in fact we also won).
We had a good lead at half-time, thanks in no small part to a devasting first half from Sally Clark & Gunnar Hallberg and cemented that position in the second half, finishing a comfortable 13 VPs clear of Manchester in second. Very well done to everyone concerned
Team (from left to right): David Dickson, Andy Ryder, Mike Allen, Gunnar Hallberg, Sally Clark, Julian Mitchell, Ken Ford, Peter Clinch.
And Oliver Powell, Stephen Kennedy and Matt Read who played in both the county heat and the regional final.
Given our series of near misses in recent years, when in the past five years we finished as runners-up twice and as third place twice, no-one can argue that this is a deserved success. Until this current success, these results had been the best ever achieved by a Sussex team in the Garden Cities Trophy. Roll on next year!
Hip! Hip! Hurrah!

On 12th June we ran our first end of term learners' duplicate and were delighted to have over seven tables of learners attend, some playing their first duplicate session. All players were given a joker whereby they were allowed one opportunity to get expert bidding advice from Oliver or if they were unlucky, advice from Julian. Wisely, more than ten competitors did not use their joker, recognising that they would do better without such distractions.
We had three prize categories and our winners were:
Overall winners – Emma & Colin Piper
Top Second Year Pair – Maria Bridges & Michele Hood
Top First Year Pair – Melissa Bell & Sue Randall
A big thank-you to all who made the event run so well on the day; in addition to Oliver and Julian, many thanks also to Sue Wallace and to Liz Cheveley for their behind the scenes/front of house work. We intend to run similar end of term events from now on, so expect the next one to happen in November.
