Tom Bradley Award

The late Tom Bradley was the first treasurer of the ETBB in 1991, when the trust was established, and he was appointed as a trustee when a vacancy occurred in 1995. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the trust's aims and a wise guardian of our finances.

The trust has now recognised Tom's contribution to its work by establishing the Tom Bradley Award of £500, to be given to the club or school making the best contribution to bridge for young people, who present a good case for using the money — for example by paying for a teacher, buying equipment, sending players to a bridge event or holding a party to welcome new players.

Applications are welcome from all who work in promoting bridge among young people in full-time education. The closing date for applications to be the first recipient of the award is June 30, 2008. Send entries to ETBB secretary, Patrick Jourdain at pdjourdain@hotmail.com.
