Dear Club Secretary

YCBA will be staging the annual multiple teams event for Affiliated Clubs on Thursday 10th April 2025 at Wakefield Bridge Club, and I am writing to all club secretaries to invite entries.

The only competition rule is that players must be members of the club they represent.   When it was instigated some years ago, the Affiliated Clubs Teams event was intended for club committee members, tournament directors, scorers and others working hard behind the scenes.    However, this is not a condition, and clubs may select or nominate their teams however they wish.

Clubs may enter either one or two teams, subject to the venue having a maximum capacity of twelve teams.   

It will be a two-session event starting at 11.00 in the morning, playing about 36 boards with a break for a buffet lunch, and finishing about 4.30 in the afternoon.   The entry fee, inclusive of lunch, and coffee or tea on arrival,  will be £96 per team of four, unchanged from last year,   The tournament director will be appointed in the near future and the contact at Wakefield Bridge Club is Stephen Hanslip.

I very much hope you will be in a position to support the county association and give some of your members the opportunity of an enjoyable day out with some friendly but competitive bridge. 

If you wish to enter, please email me at robinjepson1951@gmail.com, giving the players’ names and EBU numbers, and also indicate any special dietary requirements.    The attachment gives details of how to pay the entry fee.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Robin Jepson
