Charity fund raising events

The Oliver Cowan Bridge Club is proud to support a number of charities and thanks to the generosity of our players, over the course of the past 5 years, we have raised over £20,000. The 2 main charities we support on a reguakr basis are Children in Need through the annual Simultaneous Pairs games and The Homeless Street Angels, who are the main beneficiary of our annual Christmas game and the New Year Congress fundraiser.

Other charities we have supported include: Anthony Nolan Trust, Mind, The Zone, St John Ambulance, Norwood, The Emma Maltby Foundation, Papyrus plus many more.

If you have a charity close to your heart that you would like to ge involved in some fundraising for then please let Oliver know and we can set up a game!

Undos
Undos

The club allows undo requests for genuine bidding mistakes made as a result of a mechanical error, not a lapse of concentration or forgetfulness, and only when the request is made prior to their partner's bid at the latest.  We do not allow undos for playing.
Any awkward exchanges should be referred to the director. 

Members are reminded that you can change your settings to ensure you double click to make a bid.
