| VOLUNTEER STANDBY TEAM NEEDED FOR THE GREEN POINT SWISS TEAMS ON 26 JUNE 2021 |
The county is looking for a team of 4 players who would be willing to act as standby for the Green Point Swiss Teams on Saturday 26 June. This is needed to ensure an even number of teams so no one has to sit out. If you play, there is no entry fee. If you do not play, each player will get a gift voucher. Please contact Pat Dowdeswell (email: patdowdeswell@virginmedia.com) if you are interested in volunteering.

| MESSAGE FROM THE NEW CHAIRMAN |
I would like to thank all the members who voted for me at the AGM and I am honoured to become your new Chairman. I hope I can do as good a job as Dick Davey, who has served the County so well over his seven years as Chairman.
The last year has been a difficult one for bridge and the problems that clubs have faced are not over yet.
The next challenge is how and when to get back to playing face to face. Rest assured that the County will do all we can to help clubs get back to normality. I will be contacting club Chairmen soon to discuss the way forward.
In the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy your online bridge.
