*** Allendale Bridge Club - supporting local Bridge for 50 years ***
Allendale Charity Teams - Sunday 18th Oct at 1:45pm for 2pm start.

In support of two local charities, we are holding a Swiss Teams event with afternoon tea in the Quarterjack Room at the Allendale Centre. There will also be a raffle for which donations would be very welcome. The charge for this event will be £12 for both members and non-members, and the profit will be split 50/50 between the two chosen local charities, which are My Time Young Carers and Millstream Theatre.  

We would also welcome any offers of help with the catering (sandwiches/cakes/savouries). Please speak to any committee member about what is needed. You will be reimbursed for your costs.

We do need to know the numbers attending for catering purposes.  You can enter as a single, a pair or a team by clicking on the link below. The deadline for entering is 16th October.
