 Essex Contract Bridge Assoc. Annual General Meeting
It is important that we have a strong committee to promote bridge in Essex. You will be fully aware that bridge is a fading pastime in Essex. We need volunteers for the committee, sadly we are losing 3 hard working members from the committee.
We need people willing, to spend a little time, to help if not turn the tide atl east stem it!
The AGM will be held at Barleylands at 4.30pm on 4 August 2024 after the Club Pairs
Sandwiches, wine, beer and refreshments will be provided during the break between the Club Pairs and the AGM at approx. 4.00pm

| Boot camps - Marc Chawner |
Following the Boot Camp on 12 May Marc Chawner has now produced a new guide Know your Percentages to add to; Defence, Play in a No Trump contract and Play in a Suit contract
Most of the best players in Essex were set the task of playing the hands in each category - not always successfully.
See if you can do better, if not with Marc's hands maybe the next time you play at the club.
Download the PDFs Defence, No trump, Suit contracts Know, Your Percentages
They will give you everything you could ever want to know!
Once again the ECBA would like to express their sincere gratitude to Marc for this formidable work.
