RESULTS TABLE - CLICK HERE FOR RESULTS TABLE
All matches in the Sylvia Rose have now been completed. Thanks to all captains and teams for organising and playing all matches before the end of March.
THE OVERALL SYLVIA ROSE WINNERS
The overall winners of the main Sylvia Rose trophy are the team of Judi Coady, Marie Thomson, John Fairhurst, Nick Browne and Malcolm Green, with David Barnes and team coming second. Very well done to both teams. Judi and team will be invited to represent Farnham in the Surrey Wanborough cup, the Surrey teams competition for club teams champions.
THE SYLVIA ROSE PLATE WINNERS
The winners of the Sylvia Rose plate (by a significant margin) are the team of Tony Richards, John Manches, Alan Cadge, Derek Hedley-Smith, Tim Warren and Robert Michelmore, with my own team coming second. Tony Richards and team won the overall trophy last year; hopefully winning the plate this year is some consolation.

| FREE BRIDGE LESSONS - STAGE 3 STARTING JAN 17 2023 |
FOBC, with Des King an EBUTA qualified teacher, will be giving free bridge lessons to help encourage more players throughout the UK.
We have now reached the end of Stage 2 Lessons on card play and on Tuesday 17th January we be starting stage 3. All the players completing stage 2 will be automatically enrolled onto this next stage, however there is still a number of places available for any new participants
It is fair to regard the Stage 3 lessons as more of an intermediate standard and will only be suitable for players already playing and having a good understanding of the game or for those who are progressing from the previous stages.
Lessons will be every Tuesday on ZOOM as from 17th January and will start at 2pm and repeated again at 7.15pm on the same evening but will be limited to 100 places at each lesson. If anybody needs more information, or simply wants to enrol their place, email Des King (kraftykeawyead@hotmail.com). PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER: any new players enrolling need to be registered by Wednesday 4th January 2023.
As the content of the lessons are individually formatted, they are also suitable for those players who wish to cherry pick, any or all of the lessons they prefer to attend.
More information regarding, the course content and a poster explaining everything is attached and can also be found on the FOBC website by clicking on this link STAGE 3 LESSON.
