| Welcome to the Mayflower Bridge Club Website. |
Mayflower Bridge Club meets on a Tuesday Night at Mountnessing Village Hall @7.20. A very sociable club that attracts an excellent standard of players.
There are generally 10-14 tables of hard fought but friendly bridge all under the auspices of the EBU. Visitors always welcome - we are not hosted but given some notice a partner can usually be found.

| Club Ethos |
I play on a Bridge website playing teams and happened upon a Swedish Team's logo, fortunately in English:

Play for Fun
Play for Knowledge
Play among Friends

| Billericay Mayflower History |
 Peter Williamson has very kindly put together the history of the club. Peter is one of the last playing founders of the original club.
Click on this box and have a read, there are some lovely pictures which probably date from the seventies complete with dodgy moustaches, crevats and a mean, moody and magnificent Peter.
If you have any pictures of Mayflower Bridge or the people who have played here please send them to John@johnmccoy.co.uk and get them saved for posterity before they are lost like tears in the rain!

| Let There Be Upgraded Lights - And There Are! |
 The perimeter lights have been re-instated with super new LED lights giving a good level of lighting. The lamps in the pendant lights will also be changed shortly to LED which will give a further increase in light levels and a better colour match.

| Seeking a Partner |
 After years of sterling service Carol McCue is stepping down from the find a partner role - very many thanks to her!
Going forward there are alternatives - the website has a facility for you to register the dates when you would like to find a partner. You will have to register in the members area first - this is very straightforward. The other method is to contact me (John McCoy) and I will attempt to find a partner. The former method is best for the more longer term and the latter when your partner cries off at short notice with a broken eyelash or man flu! I can be contacted on 07474 267160 or john@johnmccoy.co.uk - click here to send an email. During the day text messages/email are probably the best way of contact as sadly I am still working.
There are I'm sure people that don't come through lack of a partner or they may not wish to play regularly. If you are aware of somebody let me know their names and I will contact them and see if we can get them back playing or as an occasional last minute stand in.

| Mayflower Whitewash (almost) at Gwen Herga Ladies |
 A stunning performance by Mayflower Ladies at the Gwen Herga - the county ladies pairs competition. Nearly a whitewash with Marcia Levan-Harris and Ann Morgan winning narrowly from June Brown and Angela Fenton and Linda Fleet coming third with erstwhile member Coral Fallon. Congratulations to all - very well played against a strong field.
In the mens competition the John's Cosgrove and McCoy managed a highly creditable second place against a field largely populated by county players.

| Green Tea? |
 There has been a suggestion (from a Blue Planet viewer?) that the waste of both plastic and money associated with the tea in plastic cups could be avoided if people brought/took away their own mugs! If you would like more information on the subject please click here https://skyoceanrescue.com/ .There are obviously pro's and con's - let's have your thoughts!
