Christmas Meal |
In the absence of Steven, our Chairman, Cathy welcomed 30 members to our Christmas lunch which was held on Sunday in the Elphinstone Hotel. Following a delicious lunch, we randomly paired up to take part in a quiz which Steven had set and which David hosted. Winners of this were Archie, May R, Kaye B and Ann R. We then enjoyed coffee and mince pies followed by 14 hands of bridge. Winners were N/S Colin and Fi and E/W May C and Katy.
We would like to thank Cathy for organising the day, Staff at The Elph for a lovely lunch and the many helpers who set up the tables. It was a very enjoyable party and we even managed to arrange a video call with Steven from his hospital bed!
Photos will be available soon once the chairman gets his act together and his wife allows him near the computer!

Improvers’ Lessons |
Thursday Bridge for improvers is at 2pm and runs each week at this time. It has been great that some members have come along to support the improvers who have really appreciated their advice. Particular thanks go to David Kerr and May Cameron who have been regular helpers. Thursday sessions have been informal with instruction and discussion of bidding and play and great fun! We would love to see more members joining us – just turn up on the day.
