You may be a club member, or know of a club member, who would like to be contacted for any number of reasons - they may be poorly, isolating, have suffered a bereavement or, more happily, be celebrating a major event in their lives. If so, Jennie Rea would be happy to hear from you and to follow up as appropriate. tel 01476 593070 or JennieGBC21@gmail.com.

Seeded Teams F2F Vase

Thank you everyone for making the inaugural Seeded Teams event a great success on Monday 17 October.  From the six teams that entered, the worthy winners were the team of Bill Barclay, John Ronan, Tom Simpson and Jackie Simpson. They were well ahead of the rest of the field with the team of  Denis Manton, Richard Turner, Joy Hobbs and Steve Potts in second place.  Well done all.

LCBA Hyman Crammer Trophy Winners

Congratulations to Stuart Ennals and Andrew Humberstone pictured receiving the Hyman Crammer trophy from Pat Beasley at the LCBA AGM on Wednesday 14 September.  The trophy was awarded to them for winning the Club Pairs Championship in May of this year where they were top with a score of 65%, in a strong field of 29 pairs drawn from a number of LCBA Clubs.

Children in Need

Many thanks to everyone who played at the two Children in Need events this week.  Between us we have raised £220 for this very worthy cause.  The leading Pairs from GBC in the national rankings are Judy Hulland and Becky Ronan who were in the top hundred for Monday.  For Tuesday, Jo Spencer and Ian Smith made the top 50.  Detailed results can be found here for Monday and here for Wednesday.
