| TWBC in The Telegraph! |
As you maybe aware we had the honour of hosting the EBU Premier league Division 1 at our club on 28th/29th September.
One of the players participating was Tom Townsend who is Bridge Correspondent of the Telegraph newspaper . In the attached article today he has written some lovely comments about our club and provided a very interesting hand from the Premier league.
