| We need more Directors and Scorers! |
If you have any interest in becoming a Director or Scorer please get in touch with the Chairman!
We now have the dates for the Director training course, this is the official course sponsored by EBED and EBU, and will be run at the club by Stephen Brown, the Chief Tournament Director and Competitions Secretary for Kent. The course costs £288 but will be free for members of TWBC. This is a very important initiative for us so do please consider it. I'm sure it will be both interesting and challenging! Our only ask is that you try and commit to the full four days.
Day 0 (How to run a club duplicate) - Thursday 4th September 2025
Day 1 (Book rulings) - Thursday 25th September 2025
Day 2 (Book and judgement rulings) - Thursday 16th October 2025
Day 3 (assessment) - Thursday 13th November 2025
Go for it!

| TWBC in The Telegraph! |
As you maybe aware we had the honour of hosting the EBU Premier league Division 1 at our club on 28th/29th September.
One of the players participating was Tom Townsend who is Bridge Correspondent of the Telegraph newspaper . In the attached article today he has written some lovely comments about our club and provided a very interesting hand from the Premier league.
