All of our formal duplicate sessions next week are simultaneous pairs for charity with Ecats. 

This time the two charities are Kidney Research and Heart Foundation. You can choose to donate to either or both but please do so for all the sessions that you participate in.

I think the majority of you will know that Ecats were forced to change the way we donate and it now has to go through Just giving. 

The links can be found below to take you directly to the just giving page for which ever of the two charities you want to donate too.

Please remember that (very annoyingly) Just giving automatically add a 'tip' to your donated amount but you can remove this before you click the final confirm button. Scroll down so you can see Supporting services and a slider bar. Select custom amount and change it to zero.

If you have any problems or are not able to make a donation in this way please contact me and I can help you.

I have compiled this Bidding Advice Statement with considerable support from our excellent pool of club directors to whom I am most grateful.

The statement seeks to provide, in one single document with relevant appendices, advice to club members both on matters of general etiquette and also principles around announcing and alerting of bids.  The statement is intended to be informative to less experienced club members, whilst also reminding all members of the standards set by the club, standards which underpin our reputation as a friendly, supportive club.

I hope that members find the statement useful.

Many thanks as always for your amazing, loyal support to our club.

Kindest Regards,

David Halford
