NEW – Coventry Pairs Ladder

About 20 years ago I created a divisional format that enabled pairs to play against others of a similar ability, and move up and down those divisions depending on how they performed during the series. The CPL proved very successful and spawned other similar leagues in Warwickshire and beyond.

After a number of years removed from its management, I have returned in conjunction with Maggs Pyner and Mary Wood with a refresh. We are going back in time in terms of manual scoring (removing the Bridgemates), while increasing the jeopardy by having a single pair climb the ladder and slither down the snake between divisions after every session. With, ideally, smaller divisions of 6 pairs, where everyone plays against all other pairs in their division every session (5x5 board matches). Scoring up with just two other pairs.

I hope to see you at the first monthly session on Thursday 1st October

Our annual Swiss Pairs event was held on Sunday 2nd August. We had a full house of 20 tables, with guests from Stratford, Rugby, Leicester and West Midlands bridge clubs.

Competition was fierce, but friendly, with Alan Patel and Becky Penney coming out on top. They are pictured here receiving the trophy from Maggs Pyner.

Sue Yendall and Deborah Cain from Stratford BC won the non-expert prize.

Thanks are due to Maggs, the chief organiser; to Steve Wright, who kindly came over from Leicester to direct the event; to Sue O'Gorman who organised the delicious afternoon tea and to everyone else who helped in one way or another to make this a most succesful and enjoyable afternoon.

A raffle held during the afternoon, raised over £290 for the British Heart Foundation.

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.

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.

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).
