An invitation to play Face to Face in Worcestershire's Primary Pairs Event.  This is open to all players who have Worcestershire as their county of primary allegiance. It takes place on Sunday 27th April at 11am in Ombersley Memorial Hall. Green points will be awarded to the top half of the field.

Here is the link giving all the details.

Please see details  below for a very special event that the club is hosting in partnership with Worcestershire CBA on Thursday 24 April with the usual 7pm start on RealBridge.  It is a great pleasure to run this event on behalf of the WCBA.

All club members, regardless of their National Grading Scheme (NGS) Ranking, are welcome to play as usual.  The event is not restricted to pairs with an NGS ranking of 9 or lower so our strongest pairs are welcome to play as normal.

The event will be open to any pair across Worcestershire who have a combined NGS rating of no more than 9.  So the evening offers members the opportunity to compete against a wider field than is usually the case.

The event is described as a 9-High Corwen and the three highest scoring 9-High pairs will qualify to represent Worcestershire in the national final (to be played on 31 May 2025).

This is a terrific opportunity for club members to play in a competitive event and it will be wonderful to see Bewdley members scoring well in this Worcestershire heat and then going on to represent the county nationally.

In practice, between 80-90% of club members are ranked as NGS 9 or lower so this is an event that offers real opportunities for club members.

All club members, regardless of the subscription held, are welcome to play in this event.  Do not hesitate to contact me in the event of any queries.

I look forward to a very high level of participation in this event.

Kindest Regards,

David Halford
