The Doreen Spence individual competition.

This year the Doreen spence competition will take place over 4 consecutive Wednesday evenings from 23 April 2025 until 14 May 2025 at 7.30 pm. This is an open competition with an entry fee of £2.00 for members and £3.00 for non-members. All are welcome.

Those who wish to enter the competition can submit 2 scores with different partners from any 2 nights of the competition. The winner is the individual who submits the highest 2 scores. An entrant can play on 2, 3 or 4 nights of the competition but can submit only his/her 2 highest scores with different partners. They can play with 2,3 or 4 different partners.

Any member or non-member can also choose to play without entering the competition. They can play on any number of the 4 nights and can play with the same partner or a number of partners. The entry fee is our normal table-money whether a score is entered for the competition or not.

Any NIBU member who wishes to play in a CBAI or

IBU event, online or face to face should preface their NIBU number with a 9 when asked for your membership number.

Example: My NIBU number is 2097 so when I enter a CBAI competition it becomes 92097.

There is no need to have a separate CBAI number any longer.
