It is with great sadness that I have to report that, after a long illness, Gwynne passed away on Thursday 25th June 2026. Gwynne was a long standing member of the Regis Bridge Club and his work in creating the software package, Bridgewebs in 2005, was invaluable in managing the heyday of our Club. He took part in all the activities of the Club and was a regular at our Bournemouth weekends. In fact, the last time many of us saw him was on the recent weekend in April 2026. He will be sorely missed by all his friends both at Regis and Toddington. Details of funeral arrangements are not yet to hand but once they are known, I will post them on our website.

In view of the wide impact Bridgewebs has had on the Bridge world, I have contacted the EBU to inform them of his passing. They have put a notification on their website which you can read by clicking on this link: https://www.ebu.co.uk/article/gwynne-hughes-1943-2026

"Regis Bridge Club" is the principal duplicate bridge club in Dunstable, So named from when it first opened in "Houghton Regis", a small town on the outskirts of Dunstable, Bedfordshire. The Club has invested in the ArcScorer wireless scoring system and can provide a result on the night immediately after completion of the last board played.

Although not currently affiliated to the EBU, duplicate evenings follow the rules laid down by the governing body. You can be assured of a competitive but friendly evening playing duplicate bridge.

Over the last number of years, the Regis Bridge Club have hosted a Bridge weekend in Bournemouth usually in April. Our next event will take place at the Marsham Court Hotel on the above dates. Our weekend consists of 5 sessions of duplicate Bridge over the weekend.

The basic cost for 5 sessions of duplicate Bridge, 3 nights Bed, Breakfast and evening meal in an inland room is £295 per person. The hotel has been extensively refurbished over the past three years and has always provided us with a good and consistent level of service.

Our 2025 event was well attended and popular with the guests. 5 sessions of face to face Bridge in comfortable surroundings make for a pleasant break. If you have not attended previously give us a try. Bookings can be made by contacting me by email:  collared.coh@gmail.com for further details.
