| Championship Teams - 2021 and 2019-2020 |
Two versions of the Championship Teams competition have recently been completed. The 2021 competition, played online, attracted a recent seasons' record of 32 entries and, after playing 5 matches in 2 1/2 months, the winners were Dave Franklin's team who defeated Peter Langston's team by 16 imps in a hard-fought final in which the lead changed hands several times over the 64 boards. Congratulations to Dave's team, the remaining team members being Martin Pool, Gerry Stanford, Mick Carrington and Kamran Nadim. Despite losing the final, Peter's team (other members Ian Macgregor, Will Adler and Robert Lowe) will be representing Sussex in the EBU's Pachabo Cup competition to be held online this coming weekend (June 12/13) and we wish them every success in that event.
The much delayed 2019/20 competition was also completed recently online. Dave Franklin's team was less successful in this, losing the final to Chris Jepson's team (Neil Watts, Ian Lancaster and Andrew Southwell) by 66 imps. Congratulations to Chris's team on their success.
It is hoped that the competition can resume on a face-to-face basis later in the year and I will be inviting entries in due course.
David Galpin.

| New Chairman for Sussex |
 It is with great pleasure that I welcome our new County Chairman Peter Clinch who was unanimously elected as Chairman at our AGM.
Peter has held the positions of Vice Chairman and Tournament Manager and has served the county selflessly throughout the years and in particular this last year which has been very demanding.
Peter’s experience, alongside his fellow officers and committee members, will take Sussex Bridge forward to ensure we maintain the high standards expected.
I trust members will welcome and support Peter in his new role.
Martin Pool (President)
