Our next event is a 9 high on 21st July at Woolavington. Similar to last year this will be a normal pairs event; we will discuss a selection of hands on a chosen topic, which this year will be responding at the two level in an uncontested auction.
Please put the date in your diary and complete the entry form. The entry cost is £4 and the optional tea is £6.

The Annual General Meeting of SCBA was held at Woolavington on Sunday 12 May. The provisional minutes have now been published. All those standing for the Committee were elected unopposed, though the positions of Chairman and Vice-Chairman remain vacant.

Somerset Online has come to an end. This is the arrangement of regular weekly games played online on BBO. It began in lockdown with several games per week, but for the past year it has been one game on a Monday lunchtime. Numbers of players have gradually fallen, and we have reached the point (agreed when first set up) at which this is no longer viable. The final game was on Monday 22nd April 2024. Thank you to all those who have played, and we look forward to seeing you at our face-to-face events at Woolavington.

The latest versions of the Blue Book and the White Book apply from 7th August 2023. These books, and a summary of changes to announcing and alerting, are available from the EBU via this link.
