No Fear Bridge 

♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 

If you are someone who has recently started learning bridge and you would like the chance to play without time pressure and with  someone to ask if you need help, then you might like to play in our No Fear Sessions every Thursday Evening at 07.10pm.  There is no need to book, just turn up – there is a host so you can play without a partner.  These Thursday evenings are also suitable for anyone who prefers to play a relaxed game and everyone is most welcome.

It was ROBERT'S 60th BIRTHDAY on Monday May 4th and lots of members met up at the Club to help him celebrate.  It was a really lovely evening with wine and delicious food.  Many thanks to all those who helped with the catering and the organisation.  It is so nice that not only is our Club great for bridge but also that it is a lovely place to make friends and to celebrate with them.  

Robert says

"I would like to thank all  those who did so much work and also everyone who was  able to attend for making my birthday such a special night for me."

Thank you  Robert!  We had a lovely time.
