| Latest position on TVBC Hosting. |
The next date for which we need a host is for the third round of the Lovell on 31st October. Especial thanks are owed to Catherine Davey playing last night for only the third time in fifteen months for generously responding to my appeal for a host for next week. Thanks also to last nights other Deps of whom i am aware of Bill, BarbaraC, Brent, DavidD, Denis, Nicky, PeterC, Roe and maybe one or more others who escape me I'm afraid. We do need to fill these gaps so please try and find a date on which you could host, maybe when your regular partner is away, and advise Linda or Richard or any committee member.
Details of hosts are shown on the calendar and we will make every effort to keep this up-to-date.

On August 15th, Theo & Harry were worldwide winners of the WBF Youth Bridge Sims, still notable even if only 16 clubs took part.

| Please help with N O I S E problem |
The Community Centre Hall is a great venue for Bridge; it is easily accessible from anywhere in North Devon and can easily accommodate up to 20 tables. BUT it is a noisy room with little absorbent material around the room to deaden the noise of people chattering. As a number of us are deaf, we tend to raise our voices to be heard over neighbours who are talking and so the noise escalates, sometimes quite rapidly.
Despite pleas and many a "sssshh" from several others, noise remains a problem. If anyone has any suggestions they can make to help us overcome this problem, please let a committee member know and we'll put try to put them to the test.
