Pairs prize draw winners
The winners of every heat – i.e. the pair within each club which achieves the best national score in their club in any event – hosted by an affiliated club, or by a club from another ‘home nation’ were
entered into a prize draw. The winners at any participating unaffiliated English clubs were not included. This therefore included the heat winners of all EBU organised events – i.e. the EBED Spring & Autumn Simultaneous Pairs, the British Simultaneous Pairs Events, the Bridge England Simultaneous Pairs, and the Club Stratified Simultaneous Pairs. The winners were selected at random at the 2017 AGM.
