The amount raised for the Michael Coda, the annual County Charity event, this year amounted to £1580-50. The county have very generously rounded this up to a magnificent £1700 that will be sent to BIBIC to help children and young adults with learning and behavioural difficulties in our local areas.

Especial thanks to Eric Cummings for doing the scoring, Colin Juneman for producing the commentary on the hands and to Gina Howard for organising the event, and thank you all for taking part.

The constitution of the SCBA allows for an annual general meting to be held at any time  between May 1st and September 30th. In view of the current situation the annual general meeting of the SCBA has been postponed from May 24th until Sunday September 6th at noon and will be followed  by an event for mixed pairs at which all will be welcome. The Swiss Teams event planned for May 24th has been cancelled.

THE EVENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL JULY 10th-12th

There is  a very important update from Ian Payn (EBU Chairman) which you can find  on the EBU home page.

Latest blog from SCBA Chairman is here..

We have now arranged to hold a course in Somerset leading to the EBU Club Directors' Award. This will be held at Bruton in  July and you can find all the details here.  

This course is open to members of affiliated and non-affiliated clubs from Somerset and surrounding counties. Participants do not need to be members of the English Bridge Union. 

As  part of our offer to clubs we have arranged for an EBU Teachers’ Award course to be held in Somerset. The first step for any club interested in setting up a teaching programme would be to get someone on this course (which is free for EBU clubs) as soon as possible. The course is at Nailsea on June 1^st and 2^nd 2020 but there are lots of other courses available as you can see here.
We cannot develop the game without teachers so if you are interested please speak to your club and ask them to put you forward for a free place.

If you need help using EBU score then our county scorer, Andy Ridgers, is available to help. He may be contacted at andyridgers@gmail.com
