Chichester Bridge Club have raised a total of £580 for charity as part of Bridge Its A Big Deal! (an EBU-organised charity event for Cancer Research. UK).  Thank-you to all those who donated and took part; especially to Thea Sydenham for organising the Charity Bridge afternoon on 21 August.

It is often good to see what our players are achieving outside the club:

The Metropolitan Cup happens in mid September and Chichester club has TWO pairs selected to represent Sussex.    Andrew Morris/Chris Phillips and David Telfer/Peter Burns are both selected.

The Avenue has a combined online session on Wednesday evenings (members of one of the three competing clubs only).   It is invariably a high quality field featuring several past and present division 1 players.  Chichester club usually has a very respectable NGS rating of above 50% but the combined Avenue (Hove)/Lewes (Lewes)/West Sussex (Cuckfield) is usually close to 55%.   A Chichester based pair, Cliff Vince and David Telfer, have won four of the last five sessions, and the most recent by over 10%......Here's hoping publication of this doesn't ruin their run!

A new feature has been added to the 'Find A Partner' screen to allow you to optionally send an email to members who may be interested in partnering with you.  This is in addition to the existing feature where you can post your request in the calendar on the Bridge Club web site.  Full details can be found by clicking on the heading above.

If you are interested in receiving members' email partner requests (as explained in the link) then please send a message to me ( Jon_brooks2@hotmail.com) and I will add you to the email group,

If you have any questions please contact
