The 2nd Ben Beever Memorial Trophy tournament will be held on Sunday July 7th at 2pm at Manchester Bridge Club.

Many of you will remember Ben Beever who taught a fair few of you until his untimely death in July 2015.

Ben was a gifted teacher with an easy laugh and the loveable knack of making students feel instantly at ease. In short, he made learning fun!

Not only was Ben a talented bridge player, he was also a renowned and skilled juggler. He was also instrumental is developing the 'Juggler's Club' bidding system which is still used by several players in the County and elsewhere.

Last year , Ben’s mother, Pru Jupe, donated a trophy in her son's memory to be contested annually at The Manchester Bridge Club. She hopes to be able to present the trophy again this year.

The first tournament was a tremendous success and attracted a large, good quality field. Eddie Thornton-Cham and Tony Hodgson won, ironically playing the “Juggler’s Club’ system which Ben played such an important role in developing.

Cheese & biscuits as well as normal refreshments will be available.
