Ukraine Charity Event Success
The bridge event on Friday 30 May in aid of Tommy Sprangle’s charity runs to Poland was a fantastic success, raising £1,200 to boost the funds of the Ukranian Mother & Children’s Hostel. Huge congratulations to Ray Nicholson & Margaret Donkin for organising a fun afternoon, in which 44 Frome BC & Warminster BC members competed. Thank you also to everyone who took part, made donations, and generously supported the raffle.
Tommy, who opens up Warminster Rugby Club for Warminster Bridge players each week, gave a brief talk at the start about the hostel in Bydgoszcz, northern Poland, to which he delivers much needed supplies. The hostel houses and supports mothers and children displaced by the Ukraine conflict.
The winning pair on the afternoon were Roger Andrews & Ray Goddard on 63.27% with John Perry & Veronica Kilroy in very close second on 62.32%. Prizes were awarded to winners and losers. The only black marks of the afternoon were for those players who unwittingly snacked on the delicious bonus prizes in the kitchen, before they had been awarded…!

The EBU allocates MPs to each player in the top ranks for that evening

For example, on Monday 3rd Sept. there were 8 tables so MPs were awarded
to the top three pairs for both N/S and E/W.
The ranks start with:
Local Master 100 MPs
Club Master 200 MPs
Area Master 500 MPs
District Master 1000 MPs
County Master 2500 MPs
