Café Bridge raised over £1,300 for the Hospice charity and attracted players from far afield, as well as many Suffolk players. The event held in Bury town centre at 8 different Cafés & Restaurants attracted 34 pairs who enjoyed what for many was a very new type of Bridge experience. With players moving between venues after each round, the Sun god smiled on the event and kept the rain away.

Prizes were awarded for the first three pairs, with Sue Willcox & Roger Timmins in first place, followed by Susan Nisbett & Richard Evans in second place, and Susan & Crispin Dunne in third. Congratulations to the winners, as well as to those who won the raffle prizes.  A big thank you to Victor Lesk of BriAn Bridge fame, who is the UK’s Café Bridge supremo and who acted as Tournament Director for the day, also playing as a substitute.
