5 High Tournament |
An invitation to join us in a gentle bridge tournament for those players with an NGS rating of between 0 and 5 on BBO on the 28th day of March 2021 at 2pm.
Here we are almost at the end of the tunnel from this awful virus, let's prepare ourselves for the return to face to face bridge whenever that might be. Somerset Contract Bridge are keen to reengage with beginners and improvers or those that haven't played in a tournament for the duration. An opportunity for you to reacquaint yourself with the game, re-experience the thrill of a tournament and meet up virtually with friends and possibly make some new ones. Experienced players will be on hand to assist with bidding and leads.
We will play 12 boards at 10 mins per board. A spare partner system will be set up beforehand (contact secretaryscba7@gmail.com) and help will be available via a ZOOM link.
You will need a partner and can enter here. Thisevent is free to play.

Michael Coda Cup |
'Many, many grateful thanks to those in the county and our clubs who have set up and run the Michael Coda charity event this year, and to all those of you who participated and made donations. The sum of £3,3376 that has been raised this year is fantastic and will be sent to the Bristol branch of Clic Sargent that supports young people with cancer and their families and also serves all those in our local areas. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Sheila Coda'
