Festival of Bridge


We are delighted to announce that clubs in Leicestershire raised a total of £5705.52 for Cancer Research UK as part of the EBU's "Bridge - it's a big deal" week. A number of clubs held special events, all of which were very well supported and successful, and other clubs donated the table money from their club night in the week concerned. A big thank you in particular to everyone who helped with the organisation of the events, as well as everyone who supported them.
