Madeleine Berney

The Madeleine Berney Blue Point Swiss Pairs will again take place at Brierfield Bridge Club this year on Sunday 4th May. This event will be played over a slightly shorter than normal 6 x 6 board matches in an attempt to appeal to more players and it really is appropriate for all club players. As a special offer this year and in order to get some new players to try taking part in these events, any player who takes part but does not enjoy the day, will receive a full refund on the bridge entry fee. With an offer like that, why not give it a go! If you have any questions then please drop Oliver Cowan an email at ocbridgecomps@gmail.com
