Cath Fox has asked all ECBA clubs to display an advertisement for a new website and initiative for Youth Bridge. Click here for what it has to say, and follow the onward links, including those detailing local activities. While not of direct relevance to members, this is an important initiative, and members may have children or - more likely - grandchildren, who might enjoy the game. Or friends with the same. If the game is to survive, it needs new blood.

Welcome to Mountnessing BC
Mountnessing Bridge Club - Closed

After a difficult period post-Covid with declining active membership and non-viable table numbers, the Club has had to close its doors. The EGM held on Thursday 31st August 2023 voted unanimously with no abstentions to close the Club with immediate effect and to redistribute the Club's assets to the current members.

The Chris Megahey Trophy is a new cumulative ladder-style competition in memory of Chris Megahey, who for over 25 years up to March 2020 was consistently amongst the most successful and most respected players at the Club. It rewards those who are consistently in the top three positions. Click on the header for the rules of this and other Club competitions.

Anyway, congratulations to our Chairman David Piper for winning the inaugural competition! His regular partner Les Curtis deserves an honorable mention for coming a close second.

Club Annual Ladders 2022/23 - Final Standings

The ladders for the past year have reached their conclusions. Congratulations to:-

  1. Audrey Hartley for winning the Ladies' Ladder and thereby the Faye Wernick Trophy. An honorable mention goes to Jill Tattersfield who might have held on to pip Audrey had she played the couple more sessions needed to qualify. 
  2. Peter Oake for winning the Gentlemen's Ladder and thereby the Lionel Wernick Trophy, which he retains for another season as he also won last time!

Peter also has 'first refusal' as Club Captain for the 2023/24 season.

Covid

There are no longer any legal Covid restrictions. So, while the Club Committee will continue to monitor how this should affect the Club's policy, it has been decided that we should now relax our 'terms of play'. So:-

  1. If you are diagnosed with, or show symptoms of, Covid or Flu, we would still expect you to stay away until you are recovered. 
  2. Asymptomatic attendees may of course wear masks if they wish, but need not do so, nor take a Covid test unless circumstances suggest they should.
  3. All should use hand sanitizer on entry to the Club.
  4. Unvaccinated individuals may attend at their own risk. 

We hope these measures will continue to provide a safe environment for all our members.

Windmill Trophy - 8th December 2022

Congratulations to Audrey Hartley and David Embleton for heading the leaderboard of this annual single-session event. However, as the Club rules say that both players in the partnership have to be members - and David is an occasional but regular guest - the Trophy itself goes to the runners-up. So, congratulations also to Liz Williams and Nick Hagan

Mary Rogers Trophy

Well done to Les Curtis and David Piper who won the Mary Rogers Trophy for 2022 by a comfortable margin. That's in addition to their victory in the Windmill Trophy and joining The Seventy Club earlier in the year. Something must be done about this!

Our Club in brief...
Our Club in brief...

Sadly, the Club is now defunct. We were a friendly medium-sized bridge club that met every Thursday evening at Mountnessing Village Hall to play duplicate bridge. We were usually 8 - 12 tables before the pandemic, though numbers halved post-Covid. Play started at 19:30 and the club used wireless scoring and computer dealt boards.
