Loughborough University, 29 - 31 August 2003

Over 100 young people together with 40-odd parents, grandparents and teachers, attended this year's Teach-In weekend at Loughborough University. They were all ages from 6 to about 20, with a wide range of bridge experience but all with a love of bridge in common.

The weekend comprised several teaching sessions, with a break on Saturday afternoon for more physical activities such as swimming and the traditional annual rounders match. Saturday evening featured the Grand Bridge Tournament in which everyone participated – adults and the junior internationals in the Top Guns group right down to the Fearless Fledglings who had just started to learn about bidding. There was a separate MiniBridge tournament for the Raw Rookies who had started the weekend as absolute beginners. A new feature this year was an optional speedball event after the tournament, which attracted 17 tables of enthusiasts.

Pirizes were awarded to the leaders in each of the categories for the tournament and also for other achievements during the weekend. England star David Burn presented the prizes as follows:
