Allan Ward

It is with sadness we report that Allan Ward passed away last Friday July 24th.   Allan had been an active member of the club for over 60 years, and continued to play up to his final days.

Our thoughts are with his family.   Details of funeral arrangements will follow.

Cafe Bridge 2026

Tuesday 23rd June saw members playing bridge in five venues around the Belgrade Plaza in Coventry. We were made most welcome, and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Telegraph Hotel, Bella Italia, Pizza Express and the Belgrade Theatre, whilst the Premier Inn hosted two tables all day for very little return as they don't serve lunch! A great day was enjoyed by all, despite the blistering heat, as all the venues were air conditioned.

The overall winners were Mary Taylor and Robert Zara with a score of 63.33%, whilst Val and Andy Waugh came a very close second with 62.22%. In fact it was very close at the top with 6 pairs achieving a score over 60%. It was appropriate that Mary should win as it was her birthday! Sue O'Gorman and Paul Sutton won the prize for closest to 50% with a score of 51.33%. 

        

Thanks to all the organisers and helpers, but especially to Graham Cope who did the scoring, and to Sue who sweet-talked the restaurants.

2026 Pro-am
2026 Pro-am

The club's pro-am competition was held on Thursday 14th May with 20 novices competing for the Pete Morris Trophy, partnered by 20 'pros'.

The winning pair were Suzanne Gray, assisted by Martin Jones, pictured here with the trophy. They achieved a wonderful score of 79.86%. Well done Suzanne!

Close runners-up were Martin Wilkinson partnered by Geoff Eggison, with 74.31%.

Thanks to all those who took part in the event, particularly the pros, and thanks also to Alf Cowdrey for directing.

Cashless Payments

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.

Full details are available at Cashless Payment Process (updated 1st April 2024).
