Exactly one month after the Green-Pointed Swiss Pairs, there's the popular and friendly

Blue-Pointed Midweek Swiss Pairs
Henfield Hall

This is another county event which uses the popular Swiss format so you'll always be playing against pairs who are on a similar score to you.  You also get enhanced master points which are always nice.

The entry fee of £20 per player includes a Ploughman's lunch of your choice, tea and biscuits.

See how to enter.  If you have any questions, please email Organiser Peter Clinch or ring him on 07515 333539.

2026 Spring Congress 

At the Sussex Spring Congress on May 30th/31st, the heat was fierce and the competition was strong.  The winners of the Swiss Pairs were Paul King and Colin Holehouse of Hertfordshire who ended twelve points clear of the top Sussex pair, David W Green and John Hazard.  The top 10-high pair was Lawrence Goldberg and Clive Hardebeck.  The bidding competition was won by Gary Hyett; the highest non-expert was Dev Jaffe.

The teams trophy was retained by Matt Smith, Giles Faulkner, David Benjamin and Matt Read, who held off Andy Briggs, Milli Fawssett, John Williams and Dudley Edwards.  Congratulations to all the winners!
