As you may be aware, the European Bridge League has decided to hold their qualification event, for the World Championships, in late August using the RealBridge platform. Unfortunately, the European event will clash with the face‑to‑face Bank Holiday Teams which was going to be held at the YC and with this in mind, regretfully, the teams event will be postponed until next year. However, it is still hoped that there will be a special event at the new premises on Monday 30 August—more details on that when we know when we are allowed to meet up and play face‑to‑face bridge again.
