  ECats Week

All the club's sessions this week were raising money for McMillan and MIND. I am delighted to say we raised a very handy £324 - so well done and thank you to all who took part.

The highest finishers nationally were Brian Smith and John Nicholls (Monday), Sarah Bullock and Ken Orford (Tuesday), Alan Wearmouth and Martyn Harris (Thursday). A very honourable mention to Robin Rose and John McLachlan who also finished in the top 25 nationally on Tuesday. We hope everyone enjoyed it.

The national results can be found HERE

  Kendal v Barrow
Kendal v Barrow

Kendal beat Barrow in their first face to face match since Covid to retain the trophy. The Kendal Team (Chris Wilkinson and David Harris, Andrew Peill and John Farmer, Ray Gregory and Brian Smith, Ken Orford and Bill Thomson, John and Wendy Ellwood and Hilary Parker and Chris Banks) ran out the victors by 103 imps.

The results can be found HERE

  Teams Update

We are changing when club teams evenings are played. We are reverting to the pre-Covid system of having a teams night on Mondays. They will be held on the third Monday of alternate months starting on 15th April.

Until then the Thursday teams will still be held. From April onward, Thursday sessions will be entirely BBO. We hope this will encourage more players to play on teams evenings.

  More Tuition for 2024

By popular demand we are re-commencing tuition sessions in the new year.

On Thursday morning at 9.30 we will provide 30 minutes tuition on a selected topic followed by 12 boards of supervised play.

Once a month on the fourth Tuesday we will start at 6.40 with 20 minutes tuition followed by 18 boards as at present.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in the new year

Want to Learn or Improve?

Kendal BC holds a regular coaching and training session on Thursday morning starting at 9:30 at the Bridge Club (Abbot Hall Social Crentre). These are currently focussed on improvers - ie people who have a basic knowledge but want to improve both bidding and play.

They take the form of a short lesson followed by playing 12 boards where players can call on a tutor at any time foir help with a bid, a lead or declarer play. Non members are welcome. For further details, please click the link below.

We are currently building up a list to start a new Beginners course. When we have sufficient numbers we will set a course date. To register your interest, please click the link below.
