| Merseyside Cup at the Deva |
The Merseyside Cup is a two-session, Swiss teams competition run by Merseyside & Cheshire Bridge Association and this year it is being held at the Deva on Sunday 6th November.
If you are thinking that this will be expensive and only for high ranking players think again!
No more than one member of each team can be of National Master or higher rank and the Deva will subsidise the cost of entry for our members. Entry is normally £40 per team (including a meal between the two sessions) so this is an absolute bargain as well as being a really good opportunity to dip your toe in the water of county wide competition. Contact Paul Holt (td@devabridgeclub.co.uk) for more information.
The competition is run by Liz Stevenson (liz1@blakjak.org, 0151 677 7412).

| No Partner Occasionally?? |
The Deva Club has a Host System, so that players without a partner
can still play bridge on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays evenings & also Wednesday afternoons.
But to succeed, plenty of volunteers are necessary!
Clare, Annie and Sheena run the Host Rota, you get a free night as a volunteer - and you get to meet different people.
Click on 'Host System Explained' in the menu top left for full details.
N.B. If you have used the hosting system in the past, it is expected that you will offer yourself as a host this year. If this is not possible, please speak to Sheena, Clare or Annie in confidence.
