For RealBridge, we are pleased to tell you that we have several club members  who are very willing to support anyone needing advice on getting the best use of Realbridge to suit their needs.  Links to the RealBridge Player Guide and their camera/microphone test page are in the panel below the EBU Master Points Promotions Panel to the right, and it is recommended that players new to RealBridge have a look at these.  Members who would still like additional support should contact us at granthambridgeclub@gmail.com.

LCBA AGM

Irene Pacey was invited to the recent LCBA AGM as guest of honour.  Anne Wright, Chair of LCBA, said "This is in recognition of Irene's support of  many LCBA competitions and events over the years and we appreciate the effort that she, and others from your club have made over the years, especially given the distance."

Irene also presented Bill Barclay and Stuart Ennals with the Gimson Trophy and prize money on Monday night.  In addition, Jacob Florijn and Richard Turner won a prize for the leading non-expert pair in the Hyman Crammer competition.
