The Andrew Carnegie Trophy is held over two consecutive Thursdays. It is a standard duplicate pairs event. After the first round, it is looking like a two horse race, with the pairs of Wendy Owen / Agnes Munro and Bob Robertson / Ian McRoberts tied on 64% with the rest of the pack (6 pairs) more than 10% behind.

The same players that played on Thursday 5 February should play on Thursday 12 February although a late substitute will be allowed where an unforseen situation arises. Unless you played in the first round (or are a substitute) please don't turn up this Thursday.

Ian Memorial Trophy

Thanks to everyone who played on the night. It was a closely fought contest with Wendy Owen & David Dunn (65%) edging out Roy Berry & Andrew Carnegie (62%).

Thanks to those  who played in the UNICEF charity Sims Pairs event and who made donations. The old war horses of Ian McRoberts and Bob Robertson held off the challenge of Agnes Munro and Wendy Owner to come top at the club on the night.

The club membership fees are due from 1 April 2025. It was agreed at the recent Tennis & Bridge Club AGM that the fees would stay the same. The club membership fee will be £25 plus the SBU membership fee. This is currently £12 but may increase for the new season.

Online Realbridge has been suspended on Monday evenings over spring and summer. Online RealBridge may still be used for club days and evenings when the weather is deemed too bad for travel.

In such circumstances, to play, go to Dunfermline Bridge Club website, select Membership from main menu down the left hand side and then RealBridge. This will take you to a list of dates. Click on the date of the event and that will take you to the site.

Do you know a club member who will be celebrating his or her 80th or 90th birthday soon?  Although we are not able to meet at the club at the moment the committee would like to celebration the occasion with the member.  If you know someone, or it might even be you, please let Jane Robertson know the details.

The club's Master Points are now uploaded directly to the MEMPAD.  There are some paper Master Points in the cupboard for some players.  You should now submit your paper Master Points, after checking that there are no more in the cupboard, to the address on the MEMPAD webpage. You can find this by going to the SBU website and clicking on MEMPAD in the top right hand corner.  See the details below if you haven't already accessed MEMPAD.
