Lots of exciting and unique events this coming autumn and winter, including the two Year End congresses and the Overseas Congress to Fuerteventura (where you will enjoy beautiful sunshine in February).
Looking further ahead, please note that the 2013 Midweek Congress that was scheduled for Cheltenham in June has been moved to, The Oxford Belfry Hotel, and will take place on 28 - 30 May 2013. The bridge programme for this event outlined in the diary remains unaltered. There is also a new Midweek Congress for 2013 which will be at the Telford Hotel & Golf Resort, Shropshire on 27 - 29 August 2013.

YEAR END CONGRESS, LONDON
27 - 30 DECEMBER 2012
YEAR END CONGRESS, BLACKPOOL
28 - 30 DECEMBER 2012
Why not wind down after the excesses of Christmas. Both congresses take place during the gap between Christmas and New Year, and are an excellent way to enjoy a bit of bridge during the holiday season.
In London, the Royal National hotel provides good playing conditions, and most players will travel daily or stay in other accommodation. The congress takes place over four days, and the Swiss Teams event is now a two-session stratified event. Please click here for details on Stratification.
In Blackpool, the congress is held over three days, and has earned the reputation of being relaxed and friendly. Its ideal for players entering a national congress for the first time and the Blackpool Hilton is probably the best value of all congress hotels.
