CCBA 2024 Annual Awards Nominations
Nominations for the Gran Sportsmanship Award and the Harmon Wilkes Award are now being accepted. Any director, club owner, or player can nominate a Unit 123 bridge player who embodies the values recognized by these two awards for either or both awards.
The Gran Sportsman is a player who abides by the rules, plays fairly, respects other players, and encourages them. In essence, an extraordinarily good sport at and away from the table!
The Harmon Wilkes Awards winner is not only an extraordinarily good sport but also an excellent bridge player interested in preserving and developing duplicate bridge and its players.
Please send Phyllis Bartlett (Bartlett.phyllis@gmail.com) letters of recommendation to nominate players and describe why they are worthy of such recognition. The awards will be presented at the CCBA annual meeting at the Winterfest Sectional on February 1, 2025.
