A great result for Rod and Sue Oakford who came second in the National Pairs Final at the weekend, just in front of David Kendrick in third. Congratulations to all three. Also to be congratulated are Jon Cooke and Paul Barden who, nationally, won the Tuesday section of the British Spring Pairs with a staggering percentage of 73.9.

The Fegerty family scored well in the recent East-Anglia Bridge weekend in Bury St Edmunds. Jamie and Paul came third in the Swiss Pairs (out of 48). Jamie, Liam, Paul and Catherine came third in the Swiss Teams (out of 21)

Last weekend the Monday Club Bridge weekend took place in Marston Lincs. Forty Players attended, and in addition to the Bridge, they enjoyed the sunshine, the hotel spa and for some golf and cycling.  We played 5 sessions of Bridge, with 4 duplicate pairs and a teams event on Sunday morning. Winners of each session were awarded with fine bottles of champagne.

The après Bridge was much appreciated with several players drinking Bourbon and G&T late in to the evening, and we’re assured that this didn’t affect the standard of bridge the following morning!

This was the second time we ran the event with 32 attending in 2018. Planning is in place for 2020 and as this is likely to be oversubscribed it’s best to apply early if you’d like to join us.

Dates for the 2020 Weekend are already confirmed for

February 28 – March 2 2020.

Congratulations to all our winners:   John Phelps, David Parish,  Graham Dolan, Zoe Dolan, Gilli Haarhoff, Tony Pike, Susan Wynn and Richard Wynn.

Many thanks to all that attended and helped to make it such a successful and enjoyable weekend.

Congratulations to Jon Cooke who, partnering Cameron Small, featured in the winning EBU team that topped the Camrose home countries Championship. They managed to beat the official England team into second place.

Cambs & Hunts won the inter-county teams-of -eight Tollemache Cup at the weekend, a great result against a high quality field, and only the second time that C&H have won the trophy (The first time was in 1980). The team was Jon Cooke and Jon Mestel, David Kendrick (also played in the 1980 win) and Paul Barden, Julian Wightwick and Giles Woodruffe and Paul Fegarty and Catherine Curtis. Seven of the team are CBC members. Well done!

The Club congratulates club member David Man, who is one of a handful of EBU members recently honoured by the receipt of a Dimmie Fleming Award. This award recognises David's many years service to the Cambs and Hunts CBA, first as County Auditor, then as County Treasurer and, finally, as County Tournament Officer.

Congratulations go to CBC 2 who narrowly beat CBC 1 by 2VPs, from a field of six teams, in the Garden Cities Qualifier on Feb 3rd. The team was Jenny Jacobsberg & Joanne Caldwell, Graham Dolan & Colin Campbell, Jake Dunn & Ben Tarlow, Alan Shillitoe & John Liebeschuetz
