Paul Bowyer will be delivering a series of four seminars in the Autumn which will help club players improve their performance playing Teams or IMP Pairs Bridge. Whilst open to all Leicestershire club players, these sessions will be particularly useful to those who will be playing in any of the LCBA teams of four competitions, including the Teams of Four League; club teams of four competitions; the LCBA Pairs League; and, most importantly, those who represent or who aspire to represent LCBA in the Midland Counties League.
Although you can arrange to attend with your partner, this is not essential. To attend, please complete the Booking Form.

Pairs League Playing Night Survey
The TSC thanks all those who responded to the short survey regarding the preferred night for the Pairs League. Two years ago this moved from a Thursday evening to a Wednesday evening and it was felt prudent to check with members whether they were happy with the change or would prefer to move back to a Thursday evening. By far, the majority of those who responded preferred a Wednesday evening, so the Pairs League playing night will accordingly be scheduled for Wednesday evenings going forward.

Eligibility for non-Expert Prizes in LCBA Competitions
The Tournament Sub Committee has revised the definition of non-expert for the purpose of identifying who is eligible to win non-expert prizes in LCBA competitions. In general, players who have represented the County in a Midland Counties League match within the previous three years, or who have an NGS rank of 9 or higher, will be considered ‘Expert’, and thus not be eligible to win a non-expert prize. The full definition is contained in this document here.
