Due to a competing function at the hotel, unfortunately we do not have as much capacity as we had hoped for the Burke and O’Connor Trophies in Knightsbrook over the weekend of 21/22 March. It has therefore been necessary to limit entries to 24 teams in the Burke (Masters) and 12 teams in the O’Connor (Intermediates). Whilst this will allow for a slightly bigger field in both events than we had last year, it does mean that some people who wished to play may be disappointed; the IBU apologises if that turns out to be the case.
Entry is now open for both competitions on the CBAI website; obviously, in view of the limited capacity, anyone intending to play should enter as soon as they can.
The arrangement for dedicated rooms being held at the hotel for bridge players will expire on Sunday, after which it will be first come first served, and our organisers have been advised that it is likely that the other function will be very busy. Anyone intending to stay overnight at the hotel should likewise make their booking without delay.
