OBA Congress
OBA Green Pointed Congress 2026

The OBA Congress will be held over the weekend 15-16th August 2026, at our popular venue: The Pavilion, Abingdon School, Park Road, Abingdon. Green Pointed Swiss Pairs on Saturday and Green Pointed Swiss Teams on Sunday.

The entry fee in 2026 is £30 per player for each Green Pointed event. 

Please enter / see entries using:  

Swiss Pairs or  Swiss Teams    entry forms. TEAM-MATES REQUIRED

 

In response to requests last year, your committee can supply a lunch Meal Deal on each day of the congress. This will consist of a packaged sandwich, a piece of fruit, a packet of plain crisps and a chocolate bar, all coming from Tesco and costing £5.00.

Meals must be ordered and paid for in advance, no later than four days before the congress. One order per person. Please choose sandwiches from the list below. Due to limitations by the supplier we are restricted to 10 of any one sandwich so some choices may be removed from the list nearer the event. First come, first served. Triples have three sandwiches per pack, others two. Gluten free choices are available (Sandwiches & galaxy and the crisps are gluten free ones). Also make your choice of fruit and chocolate bar. 

FOOD FOR SATURDAY          FOOD FOR SUNDAY

 

For more information see the CONGRESS BROCHURE   CONGRESS DIRECTIONS & MAP     FOOD IN ABINGDON

Abingdon School is a nut-free zone, (several pupils have severe allergies, so players may not bring any foods containing nuts).  Note also, no smoking on the school premises.

If any pair or player is willing to be a standby pair (or player) for the Swiss Pairs on the Saturday, please email: obacongress@gmail.com
