Please do join us for our Sim Pairs and main charity event of the year. We will once again be holding a raffle. Please bring along a prize and buy tickets on the night. If you can't make it on the night itself, you can still donate a prize on one of the Mondays before - see Christina, Sandra or Krys. Cash donations in advance are also (even more) welcome.

There will be no cake this year but Christina is donating the proceeds from the sale of the fabulous Nutwood Honey from her own hives - on sale at the Club now for £4 per jar.

Maison Française is kindly contributing the evening's rent to C-i-N.

The table money will be £6 (£7.50 for non-members) as usual for Sim Pairs, but C-i-N will be very happy if you choose to donate the change from your £20 or £10 notes.

Visitors very welcome!

A list of projects that your donations help can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/psvxkB6QDMK63pgHmP5RJF/who-you-help

We are a friendly bridge club playing duplicate bridge every Monday evening, using computer-dealt boards and wireless scoring.

Visitors may only play on ordinary club nights five times in a calendar year. If you would like to play as a visitor, please check our calendar to make sure it is not a special event and contact our Secretary in the first instance.

Our venue is the Maison Française, North Oxford. Please aim to arrive at 7.15pm to be seated by 7.25pm for a 7.30pm start.
