| Wendy Gee prizewinners |
 Congratulations to Bogdan Drobny and Paul Darby who won the Wendy Gee Charity Pairs in aid of Myeloma UK and took home the coveted rosebowl presented to the club by Wendy's husband Ron. Photo L-R ABC Chair Jane Scarfe, Bogdan and Paul.
There were six and a half tables - plus generous gifts from members unavailable to play - bringing the total donation to Myeloma UK to just over £150. All monies are going to the charity without deductions. Players included several welcome guests to the club and we look forward to seeing them again on future Thursday afternoons.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event in aid of a form of lesser known blood cancer. The charity was suggested by Jan Wells whose husband Alan is being treated for Myeloma.

| Election Day Bridge |
 |
They tried to cancel our Election Day bridge because the Costessey Centre Stafford Hall was needed as a polling station. No chance!
Martin and Jan Pooley galloped to the rescue and volunteered to host us at their beautiful home in Eaton. A big thank you from ABC for their hospitality. As you can see, it's smiling faces all round.
But let us just hope that everyone still remembered to vote!

| Getting Back to Bridge |
It can all feel rather daunting.
Some of us, for whatever reason, didn't take to playing bridge online. With lockdown and shielding that might mean you haven't picked up a card for two years.
We understand. And we hope we've come up with a solution to ease you back gently into the game we love. The ABC committee has members on standby to partner you and help you get your confidence back up again. It's like riding a bike. Give it a try and it will all come back to you - and we promise not to get impatient if it's a slow process!
Just go to the bottom right Find a Partner item on this page and say you need a Back to Bridge partner.

| Play Bridge in Norfolk - or PBIN for short |
There's now one website where you can find all you need to know about playing bridge in Norfolk.
It's got info on everything from teaching in schools, U3A, fast track learning, individual tuition and clubs from easy starters to county level. Plus links to the EBU, NCBA and EBED and the low-down on the county's affiliated and non-affiliated clubs.
So, if you've just moved to Norfolk and are interested in learning bridge from scratch or improving or awakening your skills, you know where to go. PBIN's primary aim is to get more people playing in clubs - but their secondary objective is just encouraging more people to learn and play wherever! Tea and cake in the kitchen anyone?
