Burnham’s BAY Centre has just received a wonderful gift from Sheila Coda, a member of Somerset Bridge Association.
Last year Sheila, who is able to choose which charities to support, on behalf of the association, elected to share the charity donation between the BAY centre and the Devon and Somerset Air ambulance. The result was the presentation, last week, of a cheque for £800 to Jan Bonus, the BAY Centre secretary.
BAY Centre Chair Mike Lang was delighted, saying; ‘Our trustees committee has a policy of constant improvement, and this excellent gift will help us shake off the sands of time in our fifty two year-old-building.
We will ensure that this donation is used effectively on doing something specific’

How the money was raised
How the money was raised
The money is raised through a number of bridge clubs in the county who all play the same duplicated boards over a period of a week. Each hand is then scored overall (by a machine!) and each pair's percentage worked out. The highest percentage pair is the winner of The Michael Coda cup.
The event is played on an annual basis and each competitor plays an entrance fee of £5. Several clubs also donate their week's table money as well to the charity. It is a pairs competition and if you access the Somerset Contract Bridge Association website and go to 'results' on the menu on the left hand side it will give you the details of the number of entries and the names of the winning pair. Sheila chooses the recipients of the money each year and it has to go to local charities in Somerset ideally, and that includes larger bodies such as RNLI or Air Ambulance in our county.
