Committee 2024

♠   ♣ 

Your committee is working hard to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Club members are invited to help with the day-to-day upkeep of the Club.

Some examples of ways in which members can help are:

If you don't already, could you assist with card dealing or be on the Host rota?

Would you be interested in training as a Tournament Director and/or scorer?

Could you help keep the outside space and car park area tidy?

We welcome any suggestions to make LBC an even better club than it already is.

Your Club needs YOU!

EBU at Lytham

♠   ♣  

We are affiliated to the English Bridge Union, which means our members benefit from the support offered by the country's governing body. Our members automatically become members of the EBU so they have the opportunity to earn master points and are able to monitor their personal progress and compare it with other local and national players. They can also play in EBU-sponsored events. Lytham Bridge Club is over 60 years old so we have plenty of experience to help our members.
