SBU East District - 9 May 2020
The final of the Atholl Plate took place on 24th April 2020 on BBO between team Smith (Harry Smith, Glen Falconer, Bob McPaul, Roy Bennett) and team Goodman (Alan Goodman, Brian Short, Anne Symons, Paul Gipson). 36 boards were played – lots of interesting hands – and team Goodman emerged winners by 78 – 45.
The finalists of the Atholl Cup are now known as team Freimanis beat team McKinnon in the second semi final last Sunday. The final will therefore be between Freimanis and McKay but not sure when as one of the McKay team doesn’t play online.
In line with Government and SBU guidelines, the East District is cancelling all events due to take place in the remainder of the season. This includes all outstanding league matches, the Summer League and our AGM. I hope all our members manage to keep well. Remember to stay in contact with those in our community who are vulnerable to loneliness and would usually rely on their bridge club for social interactions.
Anne Perkins (ED Chairman)
To the best of our knowledge all affiliated bridge clubs are now closed until further notice. All East District congresses have been cancelled.
In due course the SBU East District Committee will discuss how to handle the truncated league season, possibly involving an earlier start to next season with matches which are critical to titles, promotion and relegation.

Did you know that those paper MP certificates in your bottom drawer are going to be worth as much as a ten-bob bank note in a few days? Either deliver them to Membership Services or bin them; and please do not send them to the Rose St mailbox in Edinburgh, send them along with your cheques and any other correspondence to: G Plant – SBU 21/5 Falcon Road West Edinburgh EH10 4AD
MEMPAD gives every SBU member access to their current Master Point totals and ranking, updated daily. Clubs submit master points on-line so you will be able to see your MP totals updated relatively soon after you have played at your local club. There’s also information about members, clubs and SBU competitions.
Email the Master Point Secretary () and ask for a login. Remember to quote your MasterPoint number; you can then register, update your personal details (address, telephone number, email address etc.) and change your password.
