| Helen Erichsen captains the Womens European Champions Cup winners |
Congratulations to the England Women's team who won the Gold medal at the recent 2nd Women's Champions' Cup, which took place over the weekend at the Boario Terme, Congress Centre (14th - 16th November) run by the European Bridge League.
England were represented by Sally Brock, Fiona Brown, Helen Erichsen (playing captain), Diana Nettleton, Nevena Senior & Nicola Smith.
They faced an Italian team (Gsad Idea Bridge Torino) in the final. It was a nail biting finish, with England finishing ahead by just 1 IMP to claim the trophy.

| 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.
