CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE CONSIDINE CUP 2024

KATE BROWNE AND CARMEL FURLONG

WELL DONE TO BOTH STBC TEAMS, SENIORS AND INTER A, WHO WON ALL THEIR MATCHES ON SUNDAY 3RD MARCH

The club operates a joker system so that members are guaranteed a game. Please come early if you are seeking a partner.  Note - there is no joker on competition nights

Members are asked to volunteer to act as joker for just ONE NIGHT in the year – we have more than 70 members, so no-one should have to do more than one night each year

Thank you to members who have already volunteered

Ann Monaghan is managing the joker roster.  We appreciate that not everyone is in a position to volunteer but if you are, please give your name to Ann and she will agree a date with you

The joker should arrive at the club in good time, by 7.15 at the latest, and should wait until everyone else is paired before agreeing to play herself/himself.  If all others are fixed up, the joker must go home!

The STBC Whatsapp group is another facility for members to arrange partners.  It is also used to pass on messages from the president and committee

You may post your name to seek a partner but any further communication should be done privately.  If you wish to respond, please do so by text or phone to the person involved

Please bear in mind that every message posted is being received by at least 40 other people

The club WhatsApp group is up and running.  Thanks to Rory Kelleher for getting this started

The group is to be used solely for bridge related matters, e.g. notices from president/committee, results, partner wanted.  Please do not post jokes or replies to other individual messages.  

Did you know –   Each king in a deck of cards represents a great king from history?  The King of Spades is King David; the King of Clubs is Alexander the Great; the King of Hearts is Charlemagne; the King of Diamonds is Julius Caesar!              With acknowledged thanks to "Three Rock Panorama".
