Farnham Bridge club have entered 5 teams this year into the NICKO ( EBU National inter-clubs knock-out), making us one of the most strongly represented clubs in the whole of England, (behind only the likes of Young Chelsea). Three of our five teams have successfully negotiated the first round, so congratulations to team captains Gabriel Hearst, Russell Allan & Geoff Bailey and best wishes for round 2.

Our bridge club is also very strongly represented in the Surrey Affiliated Clubs league. It is early days, but from all accounts our teams are doing well & we wish them every success.
