The EBU has offered all affiliated clubs free packs of playing cards with a Festival theme. Extra packs are available if counties agree to distribute them. Somerset will participate in this.

| Special Axe event for Bridge – It’s A Big Deal |
Cheddar & Wedmore Bridge Club, together with Winscombe Bridge Club, are opening up their BBO Axe online bridge session at 7:00pm on Wednesday 11th September to all Somerset players as part of the EBU’s ‘It’s a Big Deal!’ week-long festival of bridge.
As explained here, this Festival aims to promote bridge in the community and also raise £60,000 for cancer research. The linked video is presented by Tony Russ, a previous chairman of the Somerset Contract Bridge Association and Vice Chairman of the English Bridge Union, who personally suffered from cancer and died recently. This is our way of recognising all that he did both for the SCBA and for the EBU. If you have not played in a Somerset BBO event before, then please contact Mike Dobson at jeanneandmikedobson@sky.com to register your BBO username, your name and EBU number with the SCBA by Monday 9th September. For instructions on how to sign in on the night please click here. Note, however, that the event name will be "Somerset BIABD duplicate pairs" and it will be run by run by [vEBU_SOM]. Table money will be 5BBO$ and all monies raised will be donated to Cancer Research.
