EABW Sunday Swiss Teams
Simon Barb & Rod Oakford completed an East Anglian Bridge Weekend 'double' by landing the Teams event on Sunday - together with Clive Stops & John Liebeschuetz - 24 hours after winning the Swiss Pairs. However, the manner of their success could not have been more different to their earlier victory. Having strolled to a comfortable win on Saturday (see below), the teams comnpetiton was not decided until the score for the last of 48 boards was punched into the Bridgemate. The family quartet of Paul Fegarty & Catherine Curtis and their two sons, Liam and Jamie, led for much of the day only to be overtaken in the final round by the Norfolk quartet of Paul Darby & Steve Dannell and Giles & Gabriel Ip who in turn were overhauled in the dying moments by the winning four from Cambridgeshire. The Relaxed Pairs was won by Tyler Mair, Mary Moir, Pauline Harden and Mark Leggett.

C & H Management meeting 30.01.2020
The latest County Management meeting was held by Skype. This medium was not perfect but will no doubt improve with practice. It has the big advantage over previous meetings in that nobody has to travel long distances or battle past roadworks. It was hosted by Adam Bowden, our County Chairman, and attended by three officers and two delegates. The minutes are attached and both they, and decisions made, can be read in the management section of 'Documents'. Hopefully more officers and delegates will attend the next Skype meeting on June 15th. |
