 Alan Woof

Hertfordshire Bridge Association

Tony Oram was an active member of the Cambridge Club and Chairman of the County in the 1980s, prior to Ray Porter (-1991) and Chris Jagger (1991-2016). Since then, he has been one of our Vice Presidents and always took a keen interest in the management of County matters.

He taught Bridge at Linton Village College, Sawston U3A and Cambridge University Bridge Club. He organised the 'interschools’ competition for the County for many years and was keen to promote interaction between all Cambs. and Hunts. clubs.

On a more personal level he was a retired engineer, born in London. He was a keen bridge player, partnering his late wife Sue, son John, and more recently Peter Grice. When the opposition arrived at his table, he always asked the same questions of the same people, for example ‘are you playing 5 card majors?’ or ‘are you still playing precision?’ in the possible hope that they might change their ways. 

He also loved peppermints.

CAH ran a session of the EBU Summer Sims on Wednesday evening.

There were 18 pairs from 5 different clubs. The CAH winners were John Nowell with Jonathan Bradshaw from Lines, second were Tony and Tapan Pal from Cambridge , equal third were Rosalind and Norman Hutchinson from Cambridge and Paul Kemp with Kevin Clark from Lines. In the overall results from the EBU, out of 359 entries Tony and Tapan were 4^th, John and Jonathan were 5th, Rosalind and Norman were 7^th and Paul and Kevin were 12^th. Congratulations to all of them.

 Overall results can be found on the EBU website www.ebu.co.uk and CAH results on the Cambridge BC website www.cambridgebridgeclub.org

Do come and join us next Wednesday, July 29^th at 7pm. for only BBO $3.00 (about £2.30).
