This year's Roger Bird Trophy ended up with a tie between Jim, John , Lucy and Mike verses Sylvia, Steve, Madeline and Jane.
When that happens we have to split the tie. The EBU provides a list of steps that we follow, the first of which is looking at boards that the two teams played against each other.
The winners are Jim Wilkinson, John Dignan, Lucy Pathan and Mike Ayers, as they scored 0, +4 and -1 IMPs on those three boards to win the tie break with a net score of +3 IMPs

Bradgate Bridge Club
THE CLUB is still continuing to flourish despite losing the Rothley Centre as its home base in August.
Nicknamed ‘Bradgate on Tour’, as we’ve tried various venues, the club now has a temporary base at Woodhouse Eaves where we play most Monday evenings and every Wednesday afternoon.
We are very much looking forward to returning to the Rothley Centre when the new Trustees are able to get it reopened in the New Year. In the meantime, we welcome all bridge players to join us.
On Wednesday afternoons we operate a host system so that everyone is guaranteed a partner. If you have been attending a bridge class or you were a bridge player in the past and would like to return to playing, please do join us in the Woodhouse Eaves Youth and Community Hall. We start at 1.30pm; you will receive a warm welcome.
If you have a partner and are a more regular player, then please do consider joining us on Monday evenings at 7.00pm. We play in the King George V Hall most Mondays except the first Monday in the month when we play at the County Bridge Club in New Parks, Leicester, because the hall isn’t available.
Please see our website www.bridgewebs.com/bradgate where you can find further information about our club.

Charnwood Bridge Teachers
LEICESTERSHIRE’S LARGEST bridge teaching group (and one of the largest in the UK) had a highly successful Open Morning on August 30.
They raised £250 for LOROS and introduced many people to the intricacies of bridge, the king of card games.
As a result, Ruth and Richard are now teaching a beginners’ class of 18 – following the closure of the Rothley Centre, they meet at Hallam Fields Hall every Monday morning. Last year’s beginners have moved onto Year 2 – all 28 of them – who are being taught by Stuart and Jim at Woodhouse Eaves Village Hall. Year 3 – a class of 24 (with no room for more) is being accommodated at Rothley Library, who have been very helpful in making space for Brian and his team.
All the teachers, Bridge Buddies and students have coped admirably with a disrupted year. However, all three year groups are very much looking forward to being under one roof for the second term of the 25/26 academic year, back at the Rothley Centre when it reopens in January. The reopening will also allow an advanced class to run on a Thursday morning in the New Year (details at www.bridgewebs.com/charnwoodteachers).
As one of the largest users of the Centre, Charnwood Bridge Teachers have kept in close contact with the new Trustee Group and have undertaken to help them on their way with a sizeable donation.

Susie played bridge at Bradgate for many years and we will miss her sunny personality and her gentle

Our thoughts are with her husband Mike and her two daughters.
