Dimmie Fleming Award for Chris Larlham

Congratulations to Chris Larlham on receipt of his Dimmie Fleming Award, presented on 15th November at Cambridge Bridge Club.

Chris, County Captain for 25 years, founder of Saffron Walden BC and member of Cambridge BC, was one of the five people given the Dimmie Fleming award for long service to Bridge by the EBU this year. Chris was unable to attend the presentation at the EBU AGM in London on November 23rd so it was presented to him at Cambridge BC by Chris Jagger, the previous County Chairman.

About the Award

The prestigious Dimmie Fleming Award is given by the English Bridge Union to only 5 or 6 Bridge players a year. It is for long, outstanding service to Bridge at Club and County level. More details about the Award may be found at www.ebu.co.uk/awards/dimmie-fleming-award.

Summer Swiss Pairs 20th July

posted 6 Jul 2016, 03:38 by Colin Sills [ updated 6 Jul 2016, 08:07 ]

The inaugural Summer Swiss Pairs will be held at Chesterton (St Andrew's Hall) on Wednesday 20 July.

The event will be organised as a single-session swiss pairs format.

There is no need to pre-register - just turn up as a pair and you will be able to play.

The event will be 'hosted' by Jenny & Terry, in order to ensure an even number of pairs. If there is a half-table (odd number of pairs), they will go home. Note that this means that single players (ie without a partner) are not guaranteed a game. Thank you to Jenny & Terry for offering this service!
