Congratulations to Jane Jensen & Peter Scott, winners of the Geoffrey Clarke Memorial Trophy. They are eligible to represent Bedfordshire in the Corwen Trophy on 30 & 31 May 2026 at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel & Spa along with Alan Oddie & Iain Roberts and Derek Marsh & Vigfus Palson.  

Our objective is to promote the playing and teaching of Duplicate Bridge in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes, and encourage participation in inter-club, inter-county and national competitions. We have over 400 members and 3 affiliated clubs. We run a number of competitions throughout the year, with the main focus being on teams events as local clubs offer pairs events on most days of the week. We organise:

• An annual Championship Pairs competition. The leading pairs qualify to represent Bedfordshire in the national Corwen Trophy.
• An annual Nine-High Pairs competition for Bedfordshire primary members with an NGS grade Two – Nine inclusive as registered on 1 January. The leading pairs qualify to represent Bedfordshire in the national Nine-High Corwen Trophy
• A Teams of Four League of 15 teams in 2 divisions, with the leading teams competing in a knockout to become Championship Team and qualify to represent Bedfordshire in the national Pachabo Cup.
• An annual Interclub Teams of Eight event, the qualifier for the national Garden Cities competition.
• Participation of Bedfordshire Teams of Eight in all three divisions of the Eastern Counties League (ECL) and in the national Tollemache Cup. 

We publish a Bulletin with news and articles three times a year (see "Bulletins" tab on left).
