Mark your calendar on Friday, 28th and Saturday, 29th October for a weekend stay at the Forest Park Hotel in Platres.  While there, bridge games (duplicated Chicago) will be organised and we just might be lucky enough to have music and dancing on Saturday night.  And if your partner does not play bridge, bring her/him anyway as the village merits a long stroll through its streets, stopping at one of the cafes and of course the famous chocolate factory.

Errikos has negotiated preferential rates for the club: for double occupancy, the price is 40 euros per person, per night, including breakfast, 55 euros per person, per night for bed, breakfast and one other meal, and 65 euros per person, per night for bed and full board.  If you prefer to reserve a single room, prices are 20 euros higher in each of the above categories, i.e 60 euros per night for bed and breakfast, 75 euros for bed and breakfast and one other meal, and 85 euros for bed and full board.

All interested in paraticipating should inform Errikos so that the required number of rooms is assured.

Bridge Lessons
Bridge Lessons

Philippos Frangos has kindly offered to teach bridge players the complexities and logic of the play of the hands.  Some in the Club have shown an interest in attending his classes, but unless there is a reasonable number of people actually registering and attending, it is not economically feasible for the few who do wish to attend.  One alternative is for those few players who want to take the lessons to consider going to Limassol for once-a-week classes, making their per-person cost reasonable (about 6 Euros per class).  Those interested should indicate to me their desire to go to these classes either in Larnaca or elsewhere so that I can arrrange with Philippos details of time and place.

 

Modification of home page

The article on the Christmas party costs which was originally found on the HOME page and is now found on the NEWS page will be adjusted as and if necessary after the final cost of the meal is agreed.

Winners of the 2016 Mixed Pairs Competition

The Zenon Bridge Club hosted the annual Mixed Pairs Bridge Competition on 8th October at the Flamingo Hotel.  Thirty-eight individuals participated in this day-long event, with over half the participants members of the Zenon Bridge Club (21).  First place was won by Frosso Tillyris and Philippos Frangos at 64.23%, followed in second place by Wyn Coleman and Antonis Komodromos at 59.65%, and in third place by Deborah Browne and Peter Deng at 55.15%.  A hardy congratulations to all the winners, and a large thanks to all who came and joined in the fun.  As an aside, it should be noted that the second and third place winners were from the Zenon Bridge Club, so hurrah, hurrah. Full details of the hands, bids, scores, etc. can be found on the CBF bridgewebs site.  

Wecome to the Zenon Bridge Club
Wecome to the  Zenon Bridge Club

Welcome to the Zenon Bridge Club Web Site. We are located in the beautiful seaside town of Larnaca  in Cyprus, an island of perpetual warm weather and sunshine (or so the exaggerated bragging goes).  Our games are held weekly at the Flamingo Hotel, bordering on the sea.  The club is a member of the Cyprus Bridge Federation, allowing our members to compete in the numerous national competitions held annually.  Although the Zenon Club is new in name, many of its players have been playing together for many years and come together regularly every Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon for an enjoyable game of duplicate bridge.  We are known throughout Cyprus as a friendly club - our growing membership attests to this - and we will strive to maintain its positive reputation.  In the past, we have organised summer weekend bridge retreats in the mountains of Cyprus, bridge cruises in the Mediterranean Sea, and of course, our annual Christmas party for members, spouses and guests.  We are also helping to promote bridge by offering bridge lessons on Tuesday evening and encouraging middle and high schools to offer their students a chance to learn bridge as an extracurricular activitiy, sponsored by the Zenon Bridge Club.

Update on Zenon Christmas Party 2016
Update on Zenon Christmas Party 2016

Here is the latest update concerning the annual Christmas party at the Flamingo Hotel.  A reminder that the event is being held on Saturday, 3rd December;  drinks start at 7:00 PM and the meal served at 8:00 PM.  The club has negotiated a very favourable overall cost for the evening at 21 Euros for non-members and guests.  For those Zenon club members who have participated less than ... times during the year, please refer to the News page of this site for your reduced price of entry.  The meal will include a starter of salmon or salmon pate with a pomegrante/nut/rocket salad.  The main meat dish is a choice of turkey, gammon, beef or/and pork.  Side dishes will include broccoli, carrots, parsnips, roast and sweet potatoes and a salad.  And for those who are still hungary or have room in their stomach, Christmas pudding with brandy suace, creme caramel and fresh fruit will add the finishing touches to this delicious meal.  All local drinks, including red and white wine and coffee, are included in the price.  As two years ago, Sylvia and Mike will provide music for our listening and dancing pleasure.  The Club will distribute free raffle tickets to all upon your arrival and will offer 3 lovely prizes for the lucky raffle holders.  The Flamingo Hotel has offered a reduced price for a room for the night if you wish to prolong your evening and then crash into a bed without driving home (40 Euros for a single, 45 Euros for a double, including breakfast).  Anyone who is planning to attend should inform either Errikos or Kathryn, indicating the number of people to attend.
