Charity Events

The club is doing well financially and it has been decided to increase the number of charity events held annually. Our first event is the Charity Swiss pairs on 29th September 2025. The next event (date to follow) will support the Leighton Buzzard Parkinsons UK Activity Group. This group brings the local Parkinsons community together for people living with Parkinsons and their carers. They hold a weekly seated Pilates class and a monthly social. The group is run by volunteers and is not directly funded by Parkinsons UK.

If you know of any small charities (local to Leighton Buzzard) that you feel would benefit from our support, please let either Penny (our secretary) or Judi (our treasurer) know.

I think the time is right for me to pass responsibility for taking the Club forward to more enthusiastic hands and brains!

We have in recent years moved F2F premises twice and have now settled as an online entity with widespread support and a healthy bank balance of £7.6K. (audited a/c’s soon).

We have co-operated in BOA with our sister clubs - MK and Regis and are now paying admin fees to BOA to help run the weekly events and collect fees. Thus, the management of the Club is not onerous but does need a degree of diplomacy to help rebuild broken partnerships , keep the website going and very occasionally keep the peace when something goes wrong!

The Club would function quite happily without a Chairman but it would be good to have someone with a fresh outlook  volunteer to take us forward. 

Maybe these volunteers could form an orderly queue at the door of our excellent secretary (pennybligh@gmail.com)

Thank you for your support in these past years. I look forward to continuing to see you all at LBBC.

Best regards

Peter Malpass 

We operate with MK and Regis clubs so that we can offer bridge on Monday to Friday evenings by sharing our resources and offering free access to each club's membership and guests. The essence of this is that the bridge will be friendly and inclusive of all levels of ability. An umbrella website B O A (bridge online alliance) where all events can be seen but each club will retain it's own identity.

We  have PLAYING directors so we would remind all of you that the Club's ethos is that friendly bridge is the norm at LBBC so director calls are rarely appropriate except if an issue cannot be amicably resolved by discussion at the table. Please see Information and click Appeals and GDPR.
