English Bridge Union
The Bridge England Simultaneous Pairs, will now be supporting the EBU Junior Teams and as such has been re-named the Junior Squad Sim Pairs. The event will still take place on the usual dates next February, and will also keep the same format.
The next Supporting Our Juniors Sim Pairs will take place: 3rd – 6th February. We hope that your club will consider hosting a heat, and support our junior teams, and that you will encourage your members to take part – if not at a heat at your club, then at one in your local area.
Your participation, and contribution towards ensuring bridge has a bright future, is greatly appreciated.
Clubs should enter via the EBU website. Members interested in playing can find lists of all the clubs taking part on the EBU website. We hope more of you will be playing as all profits go to supporting our Junior Teams compete at international events.
In addition, your club, and the heat winner at your club, can win up to £1000 (see below).
Other forthcoming Sim Pairs
There are two other Sim Pairs events taking place this year:
EBED Autumn Sim Pairs – 2nd to 6th September
British Autumn Sim Pairs – 7th to 10th October
These represent the last chance for your club, and two of your members, to enter the prize draw to win £1000, or other cash prizes.
To be in with a chance of winning, all your club needs to do is hold a heat of one of these events. You will be entered in the draw every time you hold a heat, and if the heat is well attended you will receive additional entries.
The pair at the club who achieve the highest national score will go in to an additional prize draw. The first prize in each draw is £1000. You can read more about the prizes here. We hope this is a big incentive for you to take part. There are also other benefits to participation in our Sim Pairs, and you can read more about those, and get information on entering, in this document.
