County Pairs Championship - 9 March 2025

The 2025 county pairs championship will be a two-session event on Sunday 9 March 2025 on RealBridge, starting at 11am and finishing by 6pm with a break between sessions. All primary or secondary Bedfordshire members who play in an affiliated club (Bedford, Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, Olney) during February 2025 and score 50% or more will qualify to enter in partnership with any other player who has qualified. The entry fee is £5 per person.
