  County Pairs Championship for 2025

Friday 10th January 2025

Start time 17.30 – online via BBO

$8 per person entry – pay on the day but pre-registration to play is essential.

Please support your county and enter this competition. The event will run as a single long session with a 30 min mid-way break. It will operate as an all play all arrangement (Howell movement) of 36-39 boards using standard pairs scoring.

As always, green points are awarded to the top half of the field & the top three eligible pairs also get the chance to represent the county in the national pairs championship in May.

To register to play please complete the entry form which can be found on the county website at: https://www.bridgewebs.com/merseysidecheshire/.

Please note that entries will close at 22.00 on Wednesday 8th Jan as we need some time to set up this event on BBO.

For any queries please contact Chris Raymond - drcjr56@gmail.com or 0151 334 5206.

  Christmas Party

We had 20 tables for the Christmas Party this year, the most we have has since covid. Philip's cryptic quiz proved a bit difficult to begin with, but after a few hints throughout the session became a little easier. Sue kept us on our feet and amused with a bingo competition after the bridge and before we tucked into a splendid meal. Here are photos of the 1st N/S&E/W, 2nd N/S&E/W, the mystery prize winners (closest to 48.5%), and our club room with Christmas decorations.
