| Welcome |
Welcome to Staffordshire and Shropshire Contract Bridge Association (S&SCBA). The area covered by the Association ranges from the Welsh border in the West to Burton on Trent in the East, Newcastle under Lyme in the North to Ludlow in the South. Our objectives are to promote duplicate bridge in the counties, to encourage inter-club, etc., competitions and to employ the funds in the best interests of the game.
The County has teams of eight entered in the Midland League (Dawes, Porter and Markham) and annually enters a team in the EBU Tollemache competition. The Midlands league covers Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire in addition to ourselves. The County also participates in the Edgar Foster Cups and Midland Teams Challenge Bowl, events for the six counties of Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and ourselves.
During the winter months teams of four league matches for County members are held on the second Wednesday of the month, and there is also a team of four knock-out competition. Inter Club Sim Pairs are run regularly, and, various pairs competition events are held annually.

| AGM Sunday 16th August - 5pm on Zoom |
 The SSCBA AGM took place on zoom on Sunday 16th August.
Sadly, Pam Booth-Jones the very able chair for the past 9 years indicated some months ago that she would have to retire as chair of SSCBA. Very luckily Kath Adams (pictured) accepted nomination as chair and was elected unanimously at the AGM held on August 16th 2026, SSCBA will be in good hands. Kath has held many roles on the committee in past years.
Two topics of general interest were raised;
- January/winter sim pairs event. Since covid the SSCBA both summer and winter sim pairs events have been held on Wednesdays as that has been the day of the week when most clubs have been willing to host a heat. It was decided at the meeting to choose a Thursday date early in 2027.
- The league has been played on BBO since 2020, previously it was f2f at Wolverhampton. It is hoped that recent changes on BBO will not prevent this continuing but meanwhile the option of playing matches on RealBridge is being investigated.
