Welcome to Kendal Bridge Club
 
 
  Richard Brazier
Richard Brazier

Over the past 15 years, Richard Brazier has held various positions in the Club and has been a prominent member of both the Trustees and the Bridge committee, being Chairman of both. At the AGM on Monday, he was presented with a gift from the club as a token of thanks for all the hard work and commitment he has given over the years - thank you!

  Michael Cox

It is with great sadness that we report the death on Saturday of Michael Cox at an impressive age of 93. He played f2f at Kendal up until the 30th August 2021 (scoring over 71%) and then returned on the 2nd May 2022 when the club celebrated his 90th birthday. He continued to play on Kendal’s BBO sessions until May 2024. Among his many successes are winning the Carson cup with Malcolm Hartley three times, and most recently in 2014. He won the Ellis cup in 2012, with Sally-Ann and Mike Rothwell. Another win in the Westmorland Pairs in 2021 with Gillian Whyte and the Westmorland teams in the same year. He won the Westmorland Pivot teams in 2012, also with Sally-Ann and Mike. He also represented Kendal in the National Inter-club Knockout, reaching the semi-finals in 2014 with Malcolm, Sally-Ann, and Mike. He also played at Lancaster Bridge club for many years.

  AGMs

A reminder that KBC's AGM is at 5.15pm next Monday (23rd), in the BLR.  The week after, on Monday 30th, also in the BLR, the Westmorland CBA AGM will be held at 6.00pm.  This is an important event that will determine the future of the Association, since all the current officers will be stepping down. If you value your County Association, please have a think about what you might contribute, bearing in mind that it's not just looking after the finances or acting as secretary, it's being prepared to help run the events.  Please bring your ideas and thoughts about the County's future.

  May Promotions

Congratulations to Russell White who was promoted to One Star Master during May, to David Owen promoted to County Master, and to Helen Finch who is now a District Master.

  Website Changes

The website is undergoing a spring clean to make it easier to use and maintain. Below is a summary of the main changes made to the front-end so far. Any questions please contact David Crowe.

  • The "Members Login" menu entry has been renamed "Members Only (Login)". All pages requiring login are now located here.
  • The "Photo" and "Promotions" pages have been moved to under the "Archives" menu entry and renamed "News Archive" and "Promotions Archive".
  • The "BBO Help & Advice" page has been renamed "Help & Advice" and the "Education Notes" page and "Play It Again (BSOL)" page have been merged with it.
  Mike Patefield

It is with great sadness that we report that Mike passed away on Sunday 18th May.  Mike was a Life Member of the Club and he and his first wife Jean were regular players here and at Windermere for many years.  Following Jean’s death, Mike moved away but continued to play occasionally in our BBO sessions and also for Westmorland in the Northern Bridge League.  Our deepest sympathies go to his wife Sue, who had also been a member at Windermere, his relatives, and to his many friends.
