Congratulations
to Alan Green (Suffolk )
who has been awarded the 2011 Tom Bradley Award.
The Tom
Bradley Award was created after the death of the former Treasurer of the EBU,
who was a champion of attracting new persons into the game of bridge. Tom was particularly
supportive of endeavours which were aimed at the younger player.
Alan has
worked extremely hard over the last couple of years in introducing Minibridge
and bridge to various schools, which is especially exceptional considering the
wide geographical areas that he's reached throughout East Anglia .
Alan has
now set up a team who assist him with the various schools already involved. He
currently has plans to introduce Minibridge and bridge to new schools in the
area, please let us know if you can help (at Minibridge@ebu.co.uk).
John
Pain, EBU Education Manager, said: "Alan has a great skill in teaching all
levels and ages of children, and in providing a well-rounded education of the
game. He is an ideal recipient of the Tom Bradley Award, because of all the
amazing work in the wide geographic expanse of East Anglia ."
The Tom
Bradley Award is assigned each year to a non-school teacher for services to the
teaching of bridge in England .
