David Wing - St Albans City Cup

Gerald Everitt - chairman

Winners - Gill Lambert & Steve Lambert

The oldest place of continuous Christian worship and pilgrimage in Britain. St.Alban buried here as  the first Christian martyr of Britain.

David and his Bike

A City Cup event will be held at every bridge club and a Cup presented (as a gift from me) to the club. Each cup will be engraved with the name of the City plus the Winners names and hopefully this can then become an annual event.

Should the clubs (or indeed anyone) wish to donate to the Alzheimers Society this can be done via the website: www.justgiving.com/citycup
