Whitenap
Whitenap Bridge Club was formed in 1994 by Mrs Sybil Dickinson, see advert above, a very keen and able bridge player, who had moved to the Romsey area. Mountbatten School was originally chosen as its venue, meeting from 7.00 to 10.00pm on Monday evenings for duplicate bridge. The club now meets at the Age Concern hall, Linden Road in Romsey but retains its original name.
Unfortunately, not long after the club’s formation, Mrs Dickinson’s health deteriorated and she died in 1995. It was her wish that the club continued and the solicitor, acting for her daughter, Mrs Jackie Brown, drew up a constitution changing the status of Whitenap Bridge Club from a Proprietor’s Club to a Members Club’. Mrs. Brown donated to the club all the bridge equipment purchased by her mother and a sum of money which had accrued since the club’s formation.
The first General Meeting was held on 23rd September 1996, at which it was agreed that the club should become affiliated to the English Bridge Union, however, after an EGM in August 2009 the club voted to disaffiliate from the English Bridge Union in 2010. It was also agreed that a trophy should be purchased in commemoration of Sybil Dickinson and this has been played for by club members every year.
Whitenap Bridge Club has been operating very successfully since its inauguration.
The Club reopened on Monday 13th September 2021 after closure due to lockdowns, running Face2Face bridge as before.

From October 2023 AGM: 3.The Chairperson’s report was read out. The death of Rod Bell earlier in the year had been a great loss as he was a staunch supporter of the club. Numbers are low for both face to face and online and the club had struggled to get the numbers up.

Hi Everybody,
It is with regret I have to advise you all that, due to a serious lack of numbers, we have decided to suspend the current Sunday Evening Bridge Meetings held at Biddenham Village Hall.
For most weeks since the pandemic our numbers have been between two and three tables and that does not even cover the base costs. We had hoped we would start to see some regular growth by now but sadly that has not happened. Most people do not enjoy playing with such low numbers as it lacks variety and restricts movement.
We plan to try to start it again in the new year when we hope to have in place a players booking in sytem whereby we will know in advance the numbers and we will be in a position to manage a people shortfall more effectivly. Ideally we would like to see a minimum of four tables on a regular basis. We cannot sustain a club meeting with less 16+ people as I am sure you all appreciate.
This email has been sent to all the players that have supported the Sunday club meetings over the last 5 months but if you know of someone who has not received it please pass it on or let me know and I will contact them directly.
We will try again in the new year and thank you for your support since the pandemic.
Regards
Peter Cullum

1989 Bridge Club (Reigate)
July 2023
IT WAS VERY PLEASING TO SEE 10 TABLES ON THURSDAY EVENING THE HIGHEST NUMBER SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. LET'S AIM TO KEEP THE NUMBERS UP TO SECURE THE FUTURE OF THE CLUB.
Blackheath Bridge Club
We are back..!
We held our AGM on Weds 25th January. Among other things, we voted to remain affiliated to the English Bridge Union. We have also had a changing of the guard, with Rosemary Lloyd taking over as Treasurer. We wish Ron Andrews all the best and many thanks for his 30 years in the role.
Onwards.. we are regularly getting 6 or 7 tables on Wednesday afternoons and we are hoping for more yet.. we've had to order some more handsets to cope with the increase in numbers and we're loving it..!
Our duplicate session is every Wednesday, starting at 1pm for 1.15 (approx. 3 and a quarter hours ).
We also meet every Thursday, starting at 6pm for 6.15.
On Thursday evenings unfortunately we've been unable to get sufficient numbers to play duplicate but there has been a recent surge of interest from new members. Until there are enough members to play duplicate, members have simply enjoyed playing bridge face to face again with other pleasant members. Please get in touch with Ivy Mcgeorge if you are interested in swelling the numbers. I.mcgeorge3@ntlworld.com
