| Sunday DupliCAKE 22 September 2024 |
The next Sunday DupliCAKE is on 22 September with a prompt start at 2pm, so it would be appreciated if you would be there at 1.50pm. As usual it will be limited to easily explainable conventions ( same as Tuesday or Friday afternoons) and is a social event for those who want a more relaxed session. For your enjoyment the session stops for a cake break half way through. To make things easier, these will be available in the Diana Hill room as well as the Centenary room together with tea and coffee facilities. There will be approximately 20/24 boards and we aim to finish between 5.15 and 5.45pm. If you are looking for a partner one will be arranged for you when you arrive at the club. Do come along and enjoy the afternoon and register your interest on the "Tell us" tab which is available now.

| Citizens Advice Winter Bridge League |
This popular event has been running for many years now, raising much needed money to support our local Citizens Advice and we are always looking for new faces to take part.
The league offers participants the opportunity to meet other like-minded pairs, to socialise and play a number of Chicago matches in the comfort of their homes culminating with a finals day here at the club in April 2025.
If you are interested in taking part then please contact Bill Balcombe - either through the club website, in person or via email at bill.balcombe@gmail.com
