| Boot camps - Marc Chawner |
Following the Boot Camps Marc Chawner has now produced three guides; Defence, Play in a No Trump contract and Play in a Suit contract
Most of the best players in Essex were set the task of playing the hands in each category - not always successfully.
See if you can do better, if not with Marc's hands maybe the next time you play at the club.
Download the PDFs Defence, No trump, Suit contracts
They will give you everything you could ever want to know!
Once again the ECBA would like to express their sincere gratitude to Marc for this formidable work.

| The Essex Bridge Academy |
 |
The Essex Bridge Academy (EBA) is set up by The Essex Contract Bridge Association (ECBA) to promote and support the teaching of bridge in Essex.
The lifeblood of bridge is getting new people playing. The teachers, are the ones that provide the source of new players; to keep bridge alive we need new players. The ECBA have taken the decision to support teachers as much as possible; hence the setting up of the EBA.
It is a not-for-profit organisation; it is purely to encourage the teaching of bridge in the County. The first year is free and the EBA does not have any designs whatsoever on your bridge teaching monies.
