At the AGM on Tuesday, the EBU recognised various members' contributions to bridge in England. The meeting was held via Zoom, so unfortunately we were unable to present the awards in person. The awards have been posted out and some presentations have been made locally at clubs.
Dimmie Fleming winners Dick Pathan and John Wilcox were presented their awards by Leicester chair Dean Benton at an Executive Committee meeting earlier this week (the first one they have had face to face since early last year).
William Clennell was also presented his award in person at Camberley Bridge Club, with Val Foster (CBC Chair) and Tim Warren (Surrey Chair).
