Spare Partners

Please check the Spare Partner list at the club; if you are able to sign up for a vacant slot it will be much appreciated.

The sign-up lists through to December are available.

Many thanks to all who have acted as host on multiple occasions recently. It is worth remembering that if all members signed up we would all only need to do one Spare Partner duty per year.

AGM - Monday 16 October

The 53rd Annual General Meeting will take place at the Old Barn Hall on Monday 16th October starting at 11am.  The AGM will be followed by lunch and duplicate bridge in the afternoon.  Bring your own packed lunch, drinks will be provided.  The bridge session will be free to members attending the AGM.  Normal table money will be payable otherwise.

There are three proposals for changes to the Constitution and Rules (as set out in the Agenda).  The Proposals have been signed and are on the club noticeboard.  It would be helpful if you would print any AGM documents that you want to have at the meeting (sent to members by email).

Looking for a Partner
Looking for a Partner

There is usually a spare partner available on the day (but not always).  If you are looking for a partner for a future session you should check the message board and you can then post your message, or cancel an earlier request.

Table Money
Table Money

Table money for members is £3.  You can buy a book of 10 vouchers for £27.  To simplify the administration we would like payments for vouchers to be made by contactless card.

Table money for visitors is £4.

Monday Harrison Room Events

On the first Monday in the month the Main Hall is used by another organisation. We therefore have to use the Harrison Room where we are limited to 14 tables and sign-up lists are required.

If you have signed up for a Harrison Room event but are subsequently unable to attend please inform Kate or Neil of your cancellation.

If the first Monday is a Bank Holiday we have to use the Harrison Room on the second Monday with the same conditions. 

The next Harrison Room event will be Monday 2nd October. The sign-up list is now available. 

At present visitors are welcome but no spare partner will be available. 

Please note that we are not allowed to use the front car park on these occasions.
