The
SCBA is a county association member of the English Bridge Union (EBU),
the national bridge organisation for England.
The
aim of the SCBA is to promote duplicate bridge in the County of
Somerset, and in the areas of North Somerset and North East Somerset,
and to encourage interclub, inter-county and national competitions.
We
seek to employ the funds of the SCBA in the best interests of the game
of
Duplicate Contract Bridge, having regard to the fact that the SCBA is a
non-profit
making
body.
The
committee, who are all non-paid volunteers, organise the various County
Duplicate Bridge events of which the Premier event is the West of
England Congress normally held in October. This friendly, well organised
event has grown over the years and many of the Green Pointed events are
quickly over-subscribed. (So book early!)
The
SCBA organises and runs a wide range of competitions for its members.
Full details of our competitions during the 2011 /2012 season can be
found in the County Handbook and on this website.
I
appreciate some of our members will have no interest in playing
duplicate bridge outside of their own club. Some may like to compete but
only against players of a similar standard. Over the last few years we
have introduced competitions, which allow you to do just that. Contact
the Tournament Secretary to find out more.
It
would be lovely to see new faces at some of our competitions next
season. So if you are a new member, or
an old member who has recently not played in any of our competitions why not pledge to try out at least
one of them.

Whittaker
