LONDON BRIDGE CENTRE

LBC is hosting an Eight is Enough team game on Sunday, April 2 at 1:00 p.m. A sign-up sheet is available on the front counter. Please register by April 1.

Eight is Enough is a Swiss Teams format that evens the strength of the teams and gives everyone a greater chance to win. The game provides an opportunity to play with someone new and allows players who normally would not play in an open game the opportunity to be on a team with Flight A players! 

For further info on the Eight is Enough team game see our February Newsletter 

Games held at the LBC during the week of March 27 to April 2 will be Royal STaC games. Points will be awarded at Sectional rates and will be 25% Gold, 25% Red, 25% Silver, and 25% black.

With some regular players away, we are implementing a temporary registration process for the Monday afternoon Open Pairs game.  We want to avoid players arriving at the club and finding that there are not enough players to run the game.  Please use the link below to register before 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. 
If we do not have 12 players by then, we will cancel the game and send an e-mail to registrants and post a notice in this section of the website.
