Canterbury Charity Pairs
– Saturday, 2 December 2023 being held at Crockford’s Bridge Club
This year Crockford's Bridge Club is hosting the Canterbury Charity Pairs, with the Canterbury Charity Hospital the recipient of funds raised. We all know of Cantabrians who have been unable to access or afford life changing surgery in the public system, and the Charity Hospital helps many such people.
In order for as many bridge players as possible to support this fundraiser, two separate events are being hosted, both starting at 10:00am.
The 40C match is a single session finishing around 1:00pm. It is hoped this will cater for bridge players who wish to support this worthy cause but perhaps have neither the stamina nor time to commit to an entire day’s play.
The 3A match is the usual format of a morning and afternoon.
