Monday 29th April will be the last session of the evening "No Fear" bridge until November.
Anyone who has been playing in the No Fear section is most welcome to come and join the regular Monday evening section. Alternatively, we are again running a playing session for beginners throughout the summer on Monday afternoons from 2.30 - 4.45. You are welcome to join in these sessions.
(NB There will be no bridge on the afternoon of 6th May although there will be bridge as normal in the evening.)

Whilst Membership of our Club remains open, owing to demand new members will only be entitled to participate on Monday and Thursday evenings. A waiting list has been created for those joining who wish to play on Wednesday mornings.
Members may bring guests (including on Wednesdays, though only if replacing a regular partner).
Visitors
are welcome, either individually or as a pair, to play in our Monday or
Thursday night sessions. After three visits, guests and visitors may
only come along if they join the club.
