| Bournemouth Mini Break 2025 |
We are pleased to announce that West Sussex Bridge Club is again joining forces with Horsham Bridge Club to organise a winter bridge break from 2nd - 5th February 2025 at the beautiful Hotel Miramar in Bournemouth. For those members who have not joined us at Bournemouth previously, we have run a three-night break with five bridge sessions for the last six years, taking over this lovely 43-bedroom hotel which is within easy walking distance of the town centre. It has proved to be popular, offering excellent value for money, a spacious playing room and nice food. We have players of all abilities with prizes for the less experienced; all members will be very welcome as will non-playing partners. Please click here for prices and additional information, or contact Chris Jago via secretary@westsussexbc.co.uk if you have further questions or would like to book. We ask for a £50 deposit per person which is fully returnable if you cancel for any reason before 14th December.

| WhatsApp Group for Finding a Partner |
The WSBC WhatsApp group helps members find bridge partners, complementary to the Find-a-Partner message board here on the website, and members are welcome to use either or both methods to help find either a regular or one-game-only partner. If you're a WhatsApp user and would like to join the group, please contact Jane Lawrence via webmaster@westsussexbc.co.uk.

| Monthly Prizes |
In addition to our annual competitions, members may win unlimited free plays based on monthly attendance at face-to-face Club sessions. To be eligible to enter the monthly prize drawing, members must have played at The Old School at least 3 times during the preceding month. Those who have played at least 6 times will have 2 entries to the draw and those who have played at least 9 times will have 3 entries. The draw will take place at the first session of each month before play begins and two winners will be chosen at random on the picker wheel. Winners are then excluded from the following month's prize draw. A list of eligible members for both current and previous months can be seen by selecting Competitions on the menu.
For those members who like to play on Tuesday evenings, a prize is awarded each month based on the handicapped results of at least 3 sessions in the month.
