New YCBA Facebook Page

Launch of YCBA Facebook Page

YCBA has opened a new Facebook page.to

  • issue information about YCBA events and initiatives which are of interest to bridge clubs and a wider audience;
  • publicise good news stories and celebrate successes occurring across Yorkshire in our bridge clubs.

We are reliant on our members in clubs to share your good news stories with us. You may be holding an open day, running a bridge seminar or an event you would like to advertise. In short, anything that you think will have a wider interest beyond your own bridge club.

To find the page, search for Yorkshire Contract Bridge Association on Facebook.

Please send in your good news stories and ask your members to follow our Facebook page, and hopefully our site will grow over time. We hope you will “like” our contributions and comment on them, as appropriate. You are also encouraged to share our articles on your own bridge club or private Facebook pages.

Please email your suggested text to Mark Dunkley at secretary@theyorkbridgeclub.com . All narrative should ideally be accompanied by at least one picture or photo. Facebook is a visual medium so pictures are essential.

If including people on your photos, please ensure you have permission to post their photo on Facebook.

Please give the Facebook account your support.

Jim Proctor

It is with much regret that we have learnt of the death of Jim Proctor on 7th November. Jim played most of his Yorkshire bridge at Scarborough where he had many successful partnerships and represented the county on numerous occasions. However, possibly locally and nationally he will be remembered as a senior tournament director. Jim was the longest serving member of the EBU Tournament Directors’ panel at the time of his retirement in 2016. He joined the panel in 1974, and had held the top rank of National Tournament Director for several decades. At the Summer Meeting in 2016 he was made a Life Member of the EBU for his services. We extend our sympathy to Jim’s partner Kevin and all his friends around the county and country .

His funeral service is at Woodlands crematorium, Scarborough on Thursday 23 November at 2.00 pm if you wish to attend and pay your respects in memory of him.
