Jim Bugden

It is with great sadness that we report that Jim, a long-standing member of the Association, passed away on 28 July, after several years of poor health.  Jim was Honorary Auditor for the Association's accounts from 2002 to 2015 and his then-employers, Baker Tilly Accountants, through Jim's good offices, sponsored our playing cards in the early days of using duplimated boards.  Jim was a very fine and courteous player, a true gentleman of the game.  Our thoughts and condolences go to his widow, Sally, at this time.

Details of Jim's funeral will be added here when known.

Kent/Sussex Green-pointed venture on the weekend of October 25th-26th

As in recent years, there'll be a Swiss Pairs on the Saturday and a Swiss Teams on the Sunday (see summary).  We hope that this will again be a friendly affair and attract players of all standards (green points are a bonus!).  It will again be held at Tunbridge Wells Bridge Club - a lovely facility and just next door to a Premier Inn if you want to make a weekend of it.  You can enter here.
