The Committee has agreed to make a small change to the scoring method used in the Pairs Ladder. Instead of using the Butler method we will use average cross-imps. In this method each score is IMPed against all the other scores on the board and the average of these used to determine a pair's score on the board.

In the last County Match of the season against Oxfordshire the 1st Team drew 10-10, the 2nd Team won 11-9 and the 3rd Team lost 9-11.

The Committee are looking for somebody to run the host rota, preferably someone who makes use of it and so has an interest in it being continued. The current rota runs until the end of April and if no-one has taken it over by then we will be looking at an alternative method of matching up players who want a game but do not have a partner.

The WCBA Veterans Pairs has been won by Georgina & Ian Lineker. Full Results.

The WCBA heat of the Garden Cities Competition was won by Worcester A ( Mike Theelke, David Thomas, Ross Garratt, Mel Downing, John Sansom, Richard Jephcott, Nick Forward & Steve Allerston) who win the Ron Allen Trophy. Full results

It is now looking unlikely that we will return to the Droitwich Working Men's Club although the original issue has been resolved. The WCBA Committee has arranged for us to carry on playing at the Droitwich Rugby Club, Hanbury Road, Droitwich until the end of June. See http://www.droitwichrfc.co.uk/location/ for more details of the location. Further updates on the situation will be posted here in due course.

You can now find the WCBA on Facebook .
