| So you made the big man cry! |
Dear all
I am genuinely overwhelmed by the lovely words and immense generosity of the gift that was ‘anonymously’ dropped off at the shop yesterday. We have just booked a week in Southern Italy in May so I shall use the money to buy us several splendid Italian feasts!
Moving the club has indeed required a lot of time and effort - and I am pleased and proud to have played my part in making it happen. But it really was a team effort and I am immensely grateful for all the hard work put in by both the Committee and the host of volunteers that make the club what it is.
Hopefully we are now nearly through the teething problem phase and can look forward to the exciting bit of our club development. We have new sessions starting in May and plans for more in the Autumn. Do come along and do spread the message to friends, family and bridge contacts so that these are well supported. And do tell us if you think there are gaps in the clubs bridge offering that might practically be addressed in the foreseeable future.
Once again many many thanks for your very kind words and extremely generous gift.
With very best wishes
Paul Cooper, 22 April 2016
