AT CAMP, AND IN THE SQUAD

A group of New Tricks kids attended the two-day bridge camp run by English Bridge Education and Development at the beginning of September. As you can see from the photo above, all five attained their silver level certificates and three of the group have now joined the England Under 16 squad, despite being only 11 years old. We are confident that they will very soon be followed by others and we are extremely proud of all of them.

After a little over a year of running our Bridge for Schools programme, we took a group of 26 children from five schools to their first real tournament on Saturday 4th March. The kids, all aged 8-11 years, played competitive bridge for well over five hours and displayed all of the skills that we hope to see in future champions throughout. Well done all.
