This month marks the second anniversary of the ABF Nationwide Online Pairs. The event was originally instituted at a time when the ability of clubs to provide face-to-face games was being severely hampered by the advent of Covid-19.  Now, with the removal of most Government restrictions, it is expected that a growing number of ABF members will soon be returning ‘in person’ to club bridge (although some clubs will continue to offer their members a mixture of both online and face-to-face competition). 

The ABF Board has therefore decided to discontinue the Nationwide Online Pairs as of the end of May.  The last weekly session will be held on Sunday, May 29.
