| David Fairbairn |
I am so sorry to pass on the most dreadful news to you all...David was admitted to hospital last week and sadly passed away on Thursday
David & I first met in 1987 playing in the league and he has always done such a lot to help with the organisation of bridge in Kent and been a great supporter of local and county events. He did so much for us at Aces and always knew all the movements off the top of his head - years of experience!
It is obviously too soon for funeral arrangements but I will post them here.
If anybody would like to send a card to Shirley and the family I have the address, please email or phone me
Bluebells at Emmetts
I will leave this lovely photograph up that was taken by Elaine Wilmot, I think David would like it
Hope that you are all keeping well
Catherine

| Player of the Month |
Player of the Month
You will have seen the player of the month section in our "Competitions". It is automatically updated each time a session is added by the scorer.
The rules have been simplified - you no longer have to play with different partners, it is worked out on the average percentage achieved & you must play a minimum of 4 sessions ( 5 if there happen to be 5 Mondays or Wednesdays in the month)
NEW - For players that attend every session in a calendar month - there will be a special prize of a free session in the following month for the person with the best percentage. Also there is a prize for the best performance from the players rated NGS 8 or below.
So, keep an eye on your position in the table. Winners of these 3 prizes will be announced on the website & prizes presented on 1st session of the following month, when it all starts off again
There will also be a special prize for the overall Player of the Year - this is awarded on placing points rather than percentage...8 points for a win, 7 for second place etc
