| What's New |
Under the by-Laws of the new corporation the The Bridge Club: Aurora Newmarket will hold an Annual General Meeting on October 15, 2026 at 11:00 am. The purpose of this meeting is to receive reports on activity since the company was incorporated at the end of July 2026 and to elect a President and 3 directors. The President will be elected by the members first and then there will be a second election to choose the three directors.
The club received quite a few nominations for the various positions and some of the members have since declined the nomination. We thank everyone for their consideration to stand for the Board of Directors.
We currently have the following nominations, and the members below have all agreed that they are willing to stand for election:
- President -- Denise Harcourt
- Directors
- Lynn Janssen
- John Jarman
- Anne Richards
Nominations can still be made from the floor on the day of the meeting but if there are no further nominations the members listed above will be acclaimed.
We look forward to seeing you all at the AGM on Thursday at 11 a.m. The meeting will be followed by lunch and a stratified game for everyone who would like to play.

| Take 5 With Ken |
Focus starting this November: Understanding Two-Over-One
Ken will start with an introduction to the 2/1 bidding system, which is – overwhelmingly – the most popular system for good partnerships throughout North America. Whether or not you already have a basic understanding of 2/1, you can be assured you’ll learn a lot. Ken’s approach is thought-intensive. You are not taught conventional bids and responses; rather, the focus is thought process… seeing things in ways you would not have seen them before. So, if you want to challenge yourself, go all in!
Join Ken online every Monday between 2:00 – 4:30 pm. To register, please contact Denise, and include your BBO username and email address.

| From the Bridge Table to a Belfast Pub! |
When Licia and Colin discovered at the bridge table that they would both be travelling in Belfast at the same time, they made plans to meet at a local pub while they were there. Can you guess the pub's name?
