Clubs Start Page

Unit 430's main function is to promote duplicate bridge, and one of our most productive ways of doing this is by supporting local clubs.  More deals are played, and more new duplicate players are first brought into our game, at clubs than at tournaments.  Unit 430 is a large Unit and there are many places one can play bridge.  The 'brown' pages will tell you all about them, and also contain lists of weekly games, and of special events at all clubs, plus the latest standings in the Ace of Clubs masterpoint races, where only points earned at clubs count.

Here are the happy winners!

The winners scored 60.42% to top the field (except for a few ineligible pairs due to a surplus of masters).  Second overall and leading the North-South field was Heather Garrison and Donna-Faye Madhosingh with 58.52%.  The hand records for the game were miscopied by the CBF resulting in Boards 23-30 not appearing on the sheet, but the missing page can be viewed online here.
