PPC 2025 CHRISTMAS PARTIES
MONDAY 8th DECEMBER
Our usual CLUB XMAS PARTY - A rapid 1 board round duplicate game enabling us to greet as many other players as possible. Wine, pop, nibbles and Xmas outfits optional. We like to get as many of our community as possible involved so please try to be free that evening to join in. We'll probably arrange something that will lead to you receiving a FINE which you'll be obliged to pay to our current charity Marie Curie - and the Club will donate an equal amount to that. More information on that in due course.
THURSDAY 11th DECEMBER - A 2nd Xmas Party this year!
Because we have a small beginners group who have so far only covered Basic Uncontested Bidding, we feel the Monday evening might be too testing for them so are having a 2nd group party on the night they usually play. It will hopefully include our usual Thursday evening players and will be a very laid back sort of Assisted Play with Hands that lend themselves to uncontested auctions. I'm sure we'll manage to introduce a fine or two for this too to enable the Beginners to get into the Giving Spirit.
BLOCK OFF THESE DATES TOO - OUR WEEKEND AWAY IN DUMFRIES.
FRIDAY EVENING 10th to SUNDAY LUNCH on 12th APRIL 2026.
SOUTH DISTRICT MEET & PLAY WEEKEND
NB when phoning the hotel to book select Option 1.
PPC players had great fun at this event last year so we're hoping for another good number attending in April 2026.
This Meet & Play takes place shortly after we have finished our set lessons on PPC, so it will give Chris and I the chance to move into our semi-retirement (playing with our friends in the Purple Page club rather than running it). It will also let us hopefully "Pass the Baton" to those who are going to take over the running of the club from that point.
On the Saturday evening after dinner we'd love to get a chance to get together and buy everyone a drink while reminiscing over the last few years of fun and games we've shared. We've already booked our room at the hotel, so look forward to meeting lots of you there.
