May Update |
Tuesday F2F sessions continue to grow and grow, with 8 to 10 tables playing in the last few weeks!
Wednesday nights F2F are now every Wed except the first of the month! The P competition is now running again, and on Wed 18th May, there will be prizes for various levels. There is now a new competition running on all Wed Pairs sessions, for the Barbara Lee trophy: winner will be the player below Regional Master with the highest %age across all these sessions.
WED 25th May is our Championship teams event: all levels welcome to join us; do let us know if you need a partner, or if you are a pair seeking team-mates!
Please continue to book in in advance of sessions, via Roland for Tuesdays and via Maureen for Wednesdays. Booked-in pairs appear in the menu on the left, under Re-opening F2F.

Wed 18th May: Whittington (Pairs P)

Meanwhile, online Bridge continues, for those who are not ready for F2F yet, and for those who want both! The VClub now meets on the FIRST Wednesday of the month, and Tuesday (morning) Social continues to attract approximately 3-4 tables per week. WBC Pairs Series NINE is now underway, with 17 pairs playing in two divisions.

Roger Bowles Bridge Library |
Members might like to know more about the Roger Bowles Bridge Library.
After Roger's tragic death in Dec 2015, his widow donated his extensive collection of Bridge books to us; it was agreed that these should be managed by the County Bridge Association, and they are stored by Martin Gill. The full list of some 125 titles (both educational and humorous) can be found here, along with Martin Gill's contact details.
https://www.bridgewebs.com/cgi-bin/bwol/bw.cgi?club=worcestershire&pid=display_page65
We have a small "taster" selection at Claines for people to see, and books can also be booked out from there, using the notebook to record borrowing and return.
Get reading!!
