Bridge/Croquet- Match vs All England – Saturday 25th February
Roehampton Club won the croquet (GC doubles) by 3 to 1. But lost the bridge by 13 IMPs. So, honours even for a very enjoyable social match.
The All England could only field two pairs, so our team was: Ron Wood, Tim Russell, Diana Wilson. Well done to all.
Also, further congratulations to Ron Wood who is the highest scoring member of Roehampton Club on the Masterpoints Leader Board 2022.

Turkey/ Syria Earthquake appeal
During week beginning Monday 17th April we will play our duplicate session as part of a Sims Fundraising Event. (Simultaneous pairs). The same hands will be played at Bridge clubs across the country and there will be commentaries on the hands for each day which will be posted on the site when the results go live – this may be the day after the event.
Table money will be as normal – £4.00 and this will be donated to the fund along with any additional voluntary donations by those taking part.
