FRIENDLY PAIRS FINCHAMPSTEAD PLATE (JACK HIGH) AND TESSA TEMPLETON MEMORIAL TROPHY(3) - 24 March 2024
MAIN EVENT INFORMATION

*** Sorry. This event has been cancelled due to emergency work at SBBC ***

Friendly Pairs for the Finchampstead Plate - for pairs with an NGS rating of Jack or less and Tessa Templeton Memorial Trophy  - for pairs with an NGS rating of 7 or less.  

 To be held at SBBC on Sunday 24 March 2024 starting at 1.30 pm

*** Note that this will be played as a joint stratified event ***

Regrettably, we have had to cancel all four of the most recent Friendly Pairs events because of a lack of entries. In an attempt to provide at least one Friendly Pairs event this season we are going to hold a combined Jack high and 7 High event, with separate prizes for the highest placed Jack high and 7 high pairs. The event will be played at the South Bucks Bridge Club on March 24th at 1:30PM. There will be 20 boards to play. The highest placed Jack high pair will win the Finchampstead Plate and the highest placed 7 High pair will win the Tessa Templeton trophy. Friendly Pairs competitions are played in a relaxed atmosphere and at a slightly slower pace than our other events.

We will review the number of entries on March 14th and need at least 10 pairs entered at that date in order for the event to go ahead. Provided there are sufficient entries by March 14th, other pairs will be able to enter until 5:00PM on March 23rd . Our web site will be updated to reflect the new playing conditions; for those of you who have already entered the separate Jack High and 7 High events advertised, we hope you will understand our reasons for merging the competitions.
