The winners will take home the magnificent Noel Mobbs trophy, one of our very finest. Bring your own food or pre-order sandwiches and cake as you enter here.

November also provides chances for less-experienced players to sample county bridge in a variety of events in different parts of the county:-
- On Saturday 15th in the North of the county, there'll be the long-running (for 20+ years!) East Grinstead Basic Bridge Pairs. This is a competition aimed specifically, but not exclusively, at recent learners and less-experienced players. Results will be “stratified” so that those who have the least experience will have a chance to win a prize for their section.
- On the following day, Sunday 16th, in the West of the county, there's the Worthing Welcome Pairs. This competition is for those with an NGS (National Grading Scheme) rating of 5 or below with the field also divided into 3 separate fields for differing levels of experience (maximum of 5 years) when it comes to prize-giving.
- And, at the end of the month, on Sunday 30th in the East of the county, there's the inaugural Eastbourne Venture Pairs. Less-experienced players (NGS rating of 6 or below) will be able to play with more-experienced partners if they choose.
To encourage beginners, there'll be restrictions on which conventions can be used. And all three venues have a record of supplying delicious refreshments so why not come along and try one or more of these events?
If you have any questions about any of these events, hopefully they'll be answered on the appropriate entry form. If not, please ring or email the relevant Organiser.
See how to enter.
