Mid Wales Congress
10-11 July 2010

Congratulations to Stefan Lindfors and Jim Grant who were second in the Swiss Teams weekend in Llandrindod Wells, playing with Andrew Thompson and Mike Fletcher.

Riviera Congress
2-4 July 2010

The EBU Riviera Congress was played in Torquay over the weekend. It was good to see so many players from other parts of the country there (including a party from North Yorkshire). It was also good to see Devon players doing well - Warner and Louise Solomon, Alan and Jette Bailey were 2nd in the teams, Ann Slee, Richard Lingham, Ruth Edmondson and Brigid McElroy were 3rd in the teams; Tim and Patricia Mantle were 3rd in the pairs. The winners of both the teams and pairs were way under the average age of the rest of us, which must be good for the game.

Corwen Trophy - June 5-6 2010

Congratulations to Jim Grant and Stefan Lindfors who have won the Corwen Trophy for Devon. This is an EBU competition open only to the pairs who come in the first 2 or 3 of their county pairs championship so the field is very strong indeed.
