Blue Pointed Swiss Pairs - Oxford Bridge Club on 7th July 2024

Many congratulations to Martin Illingworth & Amr El-Kashef who won the Oxfordshire Blue-pointed Swiss Pairs event held at OBC on Sunday 7th July. Runners up were Kathy & Denis Talbot. The prize for the highest-placed non-expert pair (NGS under 10) was won jointly by Ursula Bowler & Stevie Rudd and Nieell Grew & Marion Sheppard. The second-half ascenders prize was won by Azad Husein & John Prust. Very well done to all. 

It turned out to be a very successful and enjoyable event, with 17 full tables, an excellent tea of sandwiches, fruit and cakes provided by Julie and her helpers, and ably directed by John Rowe. Thank you to everyone who helped organise this event, and to our standby pair, Kati & Dhanesh.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

To play in Oxfordshire events (regular monthly events i.e.  Senior Pairs, BBO Pairs Ladder or Thursday Teams) or the occasional Sunday events e.g. Harwell Cup, Handicap Pairs or Mixed Pairs) all players must either be Primary Oxfordshire members or Associate Oxfordshire Members. The committee discussed and decided this recently. 

Oxfordshire welcomes players from other counties and at no cost, we ask you to register for Associate Membership.

To check Primary Oxfordshire membership click: NGS (ebu.co.uk) - you should see OXF by your name.

[Note the County Pairs and Presidents Cup are only open to Primary OBA Members. All Blue Pointed and the Congress are open to all so no associate membership is required for these events]
