2024 Lyons Trophy Competition |
The Lyons Trophy for individual player will be competed for tomorrow (Wednesday 17th April). This will be the only competition played on the night.
Only those pairs who have pre-booked with the Secretary will be able to participate.
Please inform the Secretary (Anne) via text or the CBC WhatsApp group if you have booked but are now unable to play as there are a number of substitute players wishing to participate.
ALSO, we ask that members please arrive at the earlier time of 6.30 pm. We must start the game early as we will be using a novel Movement for the competition that is more complex than normal and will also be playing a larger than usual number of Boards (26)
