The new gradings are out – full details may be found here but the Bedford players may be summarised as below. Most seem a little less than previous but some notable improvements by all the Cox’s (young and old!). The list is ordered at the foot of the page.

The fact that if I were still based in Bedford I would manage to get to board 4 on the third team compares rather well with the times, not so long ago, when I was playing board 1 for Bedford B.
I don’t know what has caused the sudden blossoming of the Bedford club, but I rejoice to see it.
I think it’s mainly the website. That’s what Luton CC desperately need.
