On Sunday, 2nd March 2025 S&SCBA will be holding a duplicate pairs on BBO as a qualifying event for a final on Saturday 31st May, also on-line.

Sadly there are a few players who haven’t registered their email addresses with the EBU, and several email addresses are incorrect or haven’t been recognised in the mailing. If you haven’t received that invitation and are interested in playing you can email me so that I can check whether you are eligible and on the list I have from the EBU. I will need first name and surname to check, and this can also be done to check whether your preferred partner is eligible.

Welcome to Staffordshire and Shropshire Contract Bridge Association (S&SCBA). The area covered by the Association ranges from the Welsh border in the West to Burton on Trent in the East, Newcastle under Lyme in the North to Ludlow in the South. Our objectives are to promote duplicate bridge in the counties, to encourage inter-club, etc., competitions and to employ the funds in the best interests of the game.

The County has teams of eight entered in the Midland League (Dawes, Porter and Markham) and annually enters a team in the EBU Tollemache competition. The Midlands league covers Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire in addition to ourselves. The County also participates in the Edgar Foster Cups and Midland Teams Challenge Bowl, events for the six counties of Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and ourselves.

During the winter months teams of four league matches for County members are held on the second Wednesday of the month, and there is also a team of four knock-out competition.  Inter Club Sim Pairs are run regularly, and, various pairs competition events are held annually.
