WWBA Club League

For the next season we have six West Wales clubs taking part.  Since only five matches in ten months is rather few, we are planning for each pair of clubs to play twice, and a schedule has been made up that will run from 1st September to a final deadline of 4th July 2027, with an extra gap to account for the Christmas season.  Please read the new set of instructions which also takes account of feedback from captains and various other members, for which we are grateful.

Matches can be played F2F or online 

Instructions for setting up a match on BBO can be found under the 'Playing bridge On-line' tab above.

Hotel change for the Porthcawl Congress

We have had some contractual problems with the Seabank Hotel. Fortunately we have found an excellent venue close by and we are guaranteeing the same fantastic value in our new venue.

Our new Venue is the Heronston Hotel and Spa

Heronston Hotel and Spa 

This is less than 8 miles from the Seabank, 4 miles from the M4. CF35 5AW

The whole Congress is being transferred, the Seabank is no longer involved

All those who have already booked to play and/or stay will be transferred at the same price, they don't need to do anything.

All new accommodation bookings must be made through the WWBA website to benefit from the very generous 2 night package with all prices unchanged . 

We all look forward to a great weekend Bridge 13th to 15th November

2026 Vince Bevan

Congratulations to Glyn Williams & Vida Halford (pictured above), worthy winners of this year's Vince Bevan Pairs.  Twelve pairs took part in an enjoyable and exciting day's bridge at Bancyfelin, directed by our hard working ATO Dave Nicklin.  Again the event was closely fought with Gareth Jones & Lee Collier less than 1% behind in second place and the next four pairs within 3% of Gareth and Lee.  Well done everyone!
