| Festival of Bridge |
During the week from Thursday the 5th to Thursday the 12th of September we will be joining in the nationwide "Festival of Bridge", in aid of Cancer Research UK. Clubs around the County will be running special events to mark this "Bridge - It's a Big Deal" week, raising funds for this important charity and raising awareness of our wonderful game, hoping to recruit more new blood into our Clubs.
Many Clubs will run an event within their own usual schedule, with funds raised going to the cause; additionally, there will be some special events, including three of the hugely popular Café Bridge events, and a "Bridge - Everywhere!" festival all over Worcester City Centre on Saturday 7th September, with something for everyone. If you are running an event that is not listed here, do please contact us and we can publicise this for you.
