| The League and the Future |
As many of you will be aware, the Norfolk and Norwich Bridge Club has sadly been dissolved. The club has sucessfully run a Teams of Four league twice a year, from January to April and from September to December. The NCBA will be taking over the running of the competition from September of this year. More information will be posted here on your website once the formats and details have been agreed. In the meantime, should you have some thoughts on what you would like to see in the competition please contact Neil Tracey as the NCBA will be guided by the wishes of it's members - remember, any idea is worth consideration so please do not be shy in sharing your thoughts.
