Pairs League Playing Night Survey

The TSC thanks all those who responded to the short survey regarding the preferred night for the Pairs League. Two years ago this moved from a Thursday evening to a Wednesday evening and it was felt prudent to check with members whether they were happy with the change or would prefer to move back to a Thursday evening. By far, the majority of those who responded preferred a Wednesday evening, so the Pairs League playing night will accordingly be scheduled for Wednesday evenings going forward.

Eligibility for non-Expert Prizes in LCBA Competitions

The Tournament Sub Committee has revised the definition of non-expert for the purpose of identifying who is eligible to win non-expert prizes in LCBA competitions. In general, players who have represented the County in a Midland Counties League match within the previous three years, or who have an NGS rank of 9 or higher, will be considered ‘Expert’, and thus not be eligible to win a non-expert prize. The full definition is contained in this document here.

Josephs Bowl

The Josephs Bowl is Leicestershire's Championship Teams of Four competition. It consists of a Multiple Teams round followed by a knockout phase for the top four teams. Teams that don't make it through to the knockout phase for the Josephs Bowl are entered into the plate competition for the Butterworth-Langley Trophy.

Non-expert teams can enter the Butterworth-Langley Trophy directly, bypassing the Multiple Teams round.

Festival of Bridge


We are delighted to announce that clubs in Leicestershire raised a total of £5705.52 for Cancer Research UK as part of the EBU's "Bridge - it's a big deal" week. A number of clubs held special events, all of which were very well supported and successful, and other clubs donated the table money from their club night in the week concerned. A big thank you in particular to everyone who helped with the organisation of the events, as well as everyone who supported them.
