Spring Festival
May 12th - 17th
(Please see notice right)
Roger Pyart very generously bequeathed £10,000 in his will to Worthing Bridge Club. In his honour, we have purchased a delightful trophy, ‘The Roger Pyart Vase’, which will be awarded to the winners of the Wednesday afternoon Handicapped Pairs during the Spring Festival week, which as can be seen by a piece by Valerie Benson (“One of his fortunate Bridge partners”), he delighted in competing:
"Roger learnt to play Bridge at Worthing Bridge Club when he retired to Worthing in 1993.
He soon became a good player and then a director. Roger had great knowledge of the rules of the game, due to his photographic memory, and directed with great authority.
His name appears on many of the Winners boards around the Club and he especially liked competing in, and won many trophies in, what is now known as the Spring Festival. He played in the Sussex County Winter League and Green-pointed events for many years.
Roger was a kind, keen, and considerate partner which I am sure he would wish all those competing for his trophy will emulate."
WELCOMES
Linda Clark and Jenny Sortain
The club wishes to extend a warm welcome to our newest members,
and we wish them every success and enjoyment of the game at WBC.

• apply equally over intervention and to advancer’s bids i.e. partner of overcaller
• never apply to overcalls

It was a lovely, friendly and relaxed afternoon.

Congratulations to them both.

Following an email consultation as to the viability of BBO, we only had 9 positive responses for playing online. This did not meet the criteria required to run these sessions. Future BBO sessions are not discounted, but we would need at least 16 regular participants to make the event feasible. Thanks to all who have supported this in the past.
