WELCOME TO THE HOME OF OXFORDSHIRE BRIDGE

WHAT THE OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY ASSOCIATION DOES (Clicking on the green highlighted words links to the appropriate page)

Serves more than 1900 members at over 20 EBU- and Oxfordshire-affiliated clubs - Map and Clubs in Oxfordshire show where and when they play
Working with clubs we promote the game in Oxfordshire - see Promotion, Education & Social. In particular under Learn to Play you can find out where to learn the game, how to progress to club play and how to improve your game further after that
We have more juniors than any other county and are regularly represented at international level - read about Oxfordshire's Youth bridge
We run weekly and annual one-day Competitions, see the calendar, an inter-club league (Wessex), a teams of four knock-out (President's Cup) and a social teams of four league (Chester), some acting as qualifiers for national competitions. Annually in June we hold a two-day open green-pointed Congress
We run teams in all three divisions of the Midlands Inter-County League and in the Tollemache Cup. Information about the selection and performance of teams can be found under County Teams.
County Administration in accordance with our Constitution is carried out by a Management Committee comprising officers and non-executive members appointed by the Annual AGM
Agreed objectives are split between five subcommittees: Promotion, Education & Social; Competitions; County Team; Youth; Administration and Infrastructure

Regular online OBA sessions

OBA is now running regular online sessions on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM. Do join us. There is now no need to sign up for individual pairs events - just turn up.

We act as a virtual club so before you play your first OBA game, you need to notify us of your BBO username, EBU number and name. Anyone who has previously been blocked, please contact Kathy Talbot.

The programme is: first Thu MP pairs, director Chris Dawe; 2nd Thu Cross IMPed pairs, director John Rowe; Third Thu MP Pairs, director Kathy Talbot; Fourth Thu Teams, David Emerson.

Getting a BBO Account & joining a duplicate Instructions for purchasing BBO$ can be found here.

Registration for online teams Thursday 27 August. New teams will be accepted if that results in a even number of teams on the evening. You do not need to register if you played in a previous month. If you are the captain of a new team, make sure you get a set of instructions from Kathy Talbot beforehand.

HIGH FIVES - report by Robert Procter - 4/8/20

Four events were held over the past ten weeks

Thirty players took part

Zoom reviews and commentaries on the hands

Congratulations to the four winning pairs: Tracey Ayris and Suzanne Martin, Dominic Duggan and Steve Procopiou, Val Barbour and Jan Kinane, David Pitman and Tricia Hazan

Thanks to Barbara Jordan and Jean Carter who stood by and filled in on occasions

Thanks are due to Christopher Dawe, Kathy Talbot and Sandra Nicholson for all their fantastic help in running the events

A small surplus, yet to be calculated, will be donated to the NHS Staff Charities

Highlights for me: that at least one pair played who had not played duplicate before; the player who was happy to play with a beginner as “we all have to start somewhere” and went on to win their third outing together; the pair who replied when I suggested we might meet at a bridge table some time in the future that they had yet to play bridge with real cards
