Bridge Club play for Charity

Barrow and Grange Bridge Clubs initiated a new competition to raise funds for local charity St Mary’s Hospice.

In this Simultaneous Pairs event the same hands were played in Bridge clubs in Barrow, Grange, Kendal, Workington, Carlisle and St. Bees. The competition was scored at each club but also across the entire field.

The overall winners were two of the County’s top players, Babs Matthews (Grange Club) playing with Ian Reeves (Carlisle).

A total of £636 was raised for the charity. It is hoped that this will become an annual event.
