Results of "Garden Cities" Team competition - Sunday 6 January
This was an event for Clubs to compete against one another to determine which Wiltshire clubs go through to the next round against other counties.
Nine teams competed and the 2 teams entered by Bath Bridge club took 1st and 2nd places
The Corsham Bridge Club team of Sue Phillips, Chris Baldock, Sonya Nesbitt, Hilary Swan, Mary Jean Myles, Margaret Clark, Richard Freeman and Roy Wicks came eighth - a creditable performance considering that we have not entered a team in this competition for many years.

Forthcoming Wilts County Events – on Sundays
Non-Expert Pairs – Sunday 20 January 2019
This is an event for less accomplished players.
WCBA are keen to promote this event to players that have never, or seldom, been involved in playing at county events.
No-one above NGS Grade 10 is eligible to play. So the standard at this event will be comparable to that at Corsham Bridge Club.
We encourage you to form a pair and enter yourselves for this event.
Hopefully, we can have at least 4 pairs from Corsham entering this event.
Please don't be shy - put yourselves forward
As always, a very good tea will be provided, for which we have to thank the spouse of one of our own members.
Mixed Pairs – Sunday 20 February 2019
This is usually a popular event, with a reasonable range of standard of play.

Beginners Lessons 2018-19
A new course of lessons for absolute beginners began on 9 October 2018
Lessons will be held on Tuesday evenings 7.30 to 10.00
Venue – Church House, 3 Church Street, Corsham, SN13 0BY
For more details, click here.
The course was initially fully subscribed but we were able to accommodate more students due to a larger room in Church House becoming available.
Unfortunately, some initial students have had to give up due to other commitments, or poor health.
We cannot accept any more absolute beginners this year,
but we might still be able to take someone who already plays bridge, but would like refreshing on basic ACOL.
Please register your interest for this and/or future courses by email to corshambridgeclub@gmail.com and we will get back to you.
We prefer you to initially contact us by email but if this is not convenient you may phone either Sue (01249 661415) or Ray (01225 810240).
