Coventry and North Warwickshire bridge club hosted the Warwickshire county Mentored Pivot Teams event on Sunday 28th April, 2024. Fifteen teams had a very enjoyable afternoon of battling it out for the prizes. Players came from five different bridge clubs from around Warwickshire and were made very welcome by our TDs, Graham and Andy Cope, and with delicous refreshments, provided by Gail Wickes.

West Midlands (left:  Jazz Sohota, Alison Harms, Caroline Richards, Marie Howarth) won the top prize and Stratford (Right:  Alan Patel, Beckey Penney, Rosemary Banner, Matt Penney) were the winners of the other section. It was great to host such a popular and enjoyable session at our club.

We want to make payments and deductions as easy as possible, allowing us to concentrate on playing bridge. Whether you are playing in person, or online, your payment for the session will be handled electronically. C&NWBC uses BridgeWebs to record participation in games of bridge, which then results in deductions from your C&NWBC account balance.

The preferred method is via electronic advance payment, either an ad hoc bank transfer or a regular standing order to the bridge club account. Alternative methods of payment can be arranged with the Treasurer if necessary.

A single payment account can be used for a couple’s play at the club.
