Welcome to Bridge at Ashley. We were formed just over a year ago and, in that time, have bulit up a small successful club. We meet every Thursday evening at the Oddfellows Hall in Ashley, Staffordshire. We start at 6:45 pm and finish at 9:45 pm. New members are always welcome and we do our very best to accommodate those who may not have a playing partner.

Whilst I am happy to put out the tables and set up the room I am conscious that the new tables we acquired are a bit heavier and I am concerned that Joan is helping me to get them out of the store room. When Penny is playing she arrives early and helps which is brilliant but I think it would be nice if a couple more could come by, say, 6:35 pm just so I can try and stop Joan from lifting and carrying. Many thanks for this and I don't intend to upset anyone or make demands on people.

James has very kindly put together the minutes of the AGM last week. I intend to circulate them this weekend and I apologise for the delay but, as most of you know, we have been having fun with Social Services over Jan's Mum. Thank you for your patience.
