ESSEX LEAGUES

Many congratulations to the Waltham Foresters team comprising WFBC members Tony Verran, Phil Mattacks and Stuart Dunstan and team-mate Ken Rolph, who are Essex Bridge League Champions for 2023-24. The New Foresters team of Paul Hickson, Ian Yeats, Peter Richardson, Brian Sharkey and Peter Rogers narrowly missed out on promotion to the First Division, despite winning all but one of their matches.

HARROGATE CONGRESS SUCCESS


A fantastic result for Anne Catchpole (on the right in the photo) in the Swiss Teams at the EBU's recent Harrogate Congress. Her team, including her two nephews Jamie and Liam Fegarty, and Rachel Bingham (daughter of long-time WFBC member Judy Bourne) won the Trophy by a convincing margin, beating a number of internationals in the process. Very many congratulations to all concerned!.
