UPDATE - COMPETITIONS
In view of the closing of the club due to the virus, the competitions have come to premature end. Final results are now online. We have adjusted the minimum number of events to qualify to reflect as nearly as we can, the same proportion for each competition. Well done to all the winners. We will celebrate their successes at our AGM but, of course, we have no idea when that will be!
Coronavirus update
The government is saying that the over 70’s and those at risk should either isolate or socially distance themselves (most of the members qualify in one or other category). Both the EBU and the HBA are recommending that bridge clubs close for now.
Your committee feel that, because of the close proximity of the players and the continuous contact of the cards and bidding boxes, this is a prudent precaution and so the club will be closed until further notice.
Most of the clubs in Hertfordshire have already made this decision.
The committee wish you all a safe and healthy break from the game and hope to see you in the not too distant future.
Best wishes
Michael
P.S. For those of you that play at the Tuesday club – that is closed as well.

| About the Club |
 Hatfield Heath Bridge Club has been in existence for over 40 years. It originated in the homes of a group of friends in the neighbouring village of Little Hallingbury and expanded to the well appointed village hall at Hatfield Heath.
The objective of the club is to play competitive bridge in a friendly atmosphere. We cater for different levels of skill, with the more experienced members playing in the main hall and newer players in a smaller room of 4 or 5 tables for a few months. When they feel ready to join with the main club they are assured of a warm welcome.
We have been operating our own version of the EBU’s Better Behaviour at Bridge since opening and the emphasis being upon friendliness, our Directors are instructed to interpret the rules (where possible) in the most lenient of ways.
Michael Shine (Chairman)

| HEATH CUP 2019 |
This was a very successful event with 16 full tables. The honours go to Adrienne Tinn and Mark Wadsworth who had a clear lead over Celia and Derek Oram who came second. The winners of the Cadet prize were the mother and son team of Hazel and Cambell Fricker who came third overall. An excellent result for a cadet pair. Second in the Cadet event were Maggie Stevenson and Jan Moffat who were placed 12th overall. Well done to all winners.

| Getting the most from the Results |
The results section of our new web site has lots of additional information on your personal performance on the night. It is obvious speaking to some of the members that they do not realise that this exists. So to help you get the most from the new results service, please click below to open the instructions on how to access this extra information. You can also find what we used to call the 'Butler Rankings' for the teams' sessions. These are now calculated using Cross-IMPs which Eddie assures us is a better way of doing it!
