WBU News

Welsh Bridge Union News

The WBU Management Committee has set the fee for annual membership of the WBU at the reduced rate of £10 for the 2022/23 season (commencing April).

There will be NO CHARGE for East Wales area membership.

The WBU Annual General Meeting will be held at 11am on Sunday 10th July (revised date) in The Commodore Hotel, Llandrindod Wells. The intention is to hold a 'hybrid' meeting - both face to face and via Zoom.

Perry Shield, Spickett Bowl and President's Cup

The Perry Shield, Spickett Bowl and President's Cup are WBU inter-area events. They are due to be held on the weekend of 9th/10th July, along with the WBU AGM. The venue is the Commodore Hotel in Llandrindod Wells. The Perry Shield is an Open event; the Spickett Bowl is a Ladies' event; and the President's Cup is for players with no more than twenty-five Green points. The bridge runs over two days, with the AGM being held before play on the Sunday.

If you wish to be considered to play for East Wales in any of the above, please apply as a pair to william.parkinson@sky.com For the President's Cup it will be possible to field different line-ups on the two days so you may apply even if you only wish to play on one day. East Wales will provide a grant of up to £300 for each team as a contribution to travel and accommodation costs.

Closing date for applications for all these events: Wednesday 1st June
