COUNTY CONTRACT BRIDGE ASSOCIATION 2017-18 YEARBOOK

How do you plan to bring home this slam? What will be your only losing trick?

see back cover for answer.

Dear All

This year, unfortunately, saw the passing of one of the best players this County has ever seen. Much has already been written about the stellar career of Sandra Landy. She will be sorely missed, her contribution to our game has been immense.

On a happier note, Following the cancellation of the Junior Teach-In at Loughborough last year I decided to run a substitute event at .

This was a great success, with a fantastic £5,000 donation from Vivian Priday and the hard work of David Dickson, Colin Smith and Gerry Stanford, as well as additional help from Hazel Beveridge and Helen Kent, we ran a very successful weekend for over 30 children.

This year, EBED have reinstated their Teach-In, so I will be running a smaller non- residential course for juniors in August playing for the Tony Priday Trophy. Meanwhile, Ollie Powell continues to run a very successful teaching class every week, Gerry Stanford is teaching at Ardingly College and Ian Wright is teaching with Stephen Waters at Brighton College who will soon be holding their second match, this time against Girls’ school.

I will be looking to run some more open days at schools this year, so if you have any contacts in schools that might like a minibridge taster session, please let me know

At this point, as usual I would like to thank all my back room colleagues who work tirelessly in keeping the County going and keep you all playing bridge - Martin Pool our president, Dick Wheeler our secretary, Mervyn Wotton our webmaster, Hazel Beveridge our membership secretary, John Hardy our treasurer, Gerry Stanford and all the other members of the committee

I’d also like to welcome Peter Clinch who has recently taken on the role of Tournament Manager

Thank-you
