 Swaffham Trophy |
At the Swaffham Bridge Club's AGM on 5th March, 2024, the club resloved by 'an overwhelming majority' to affiliate to the EBU. To welcome the club as a member of the NCBA following the affiliation to the EBU, the NCBA will hold a special event to be known as The Swaffham Pairs. The venue, organised by Robert Smith, will be The Gallow at the Fakenham racecourse on Friday, 27th September with play starting at 11:00am. The venue will have a bar (with members prices) open for the duration of the event, with tea and coffee also available. There will be a break for a sumptuous buffet lunch at 1:00pm, and the finishing time will be between 4:00pm and 4:30pm. The entry form for this event can be found by clicking on this notice, where more details will also be found. This event is open to all bridge players, and it is hoped that members of clubs in the west of our county will come along and share a sociable day of bridge in a comfortable venue with like minded folk.
