| Happy Camping at JBC 2019 |
 40 juniors aged from 8 to 22 plus assorted parents took part in the South Eastern Counties Junior Bridge Camp 2019 at a new venue on 6th and 7th July. Bowles Activity Centre was a big success, and the weather was perfect on Saturday for the rock climbing, dry skiing, and pool kayaking. On the bridge front, we ran four classes and awarded a total of 24 minibridge, bronze, silver, and gold awards.
