Wednesday 23rd October 2024: The popular PRO-AM TEAMS back from our Summer break. Come along with your partner and we will match you with team mates.
As an experiment we are holding the October session on a Wednesday evening the 23rd - Face to Face as usual. We hope that this will be more attractive. It would be appreciated and helpful if you could let us know in advance if you can play (mjoseph63@hotmail.co.uk).
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
Tuesday October 29th: MiniBridge for Children will take place on in the Club from 10.30am-2.30pm. Drinks are provided but please bring a packed lunch. Click HERE for the detailed poster.
MiniBridge Update: At the moment (10 Oct) we have sixteen youngsters aged 8-14 and six parents/grandparents (three of them non-players who are interested in starting). The WBU have prepared super packs for taking away, with cards, card holders (for the young ones) and booklets. We could possibly take a couple more but hurry! Contact Maggie on mpiercewales@gmail.com or 07732625032 for further details or to book a place.
Fri 1st to Sun 3rd November: The Porthcawl Congress Returns! Main Congress and Holiday Congress - Open Pairs, Swiss Pairs and Swiss Teams at the Seabank Hotel, Porthcawl. Click HERE for details.
Sunday 17th November: Inaugural Handicap Swiss Teams - This is the ideal format to involve everyone. Each 4 person team will be assigned a handicap, giving the opportunity for anyone to win. No matter how much of a beginner you are, you will be able to give the experts a run for their money, so there is no reason not to come and join in the club's 50th Anniversary celebrations.
This will be a 2 session event starting at 11.00am and finishing at approximately 6.00pm. Entry is free.
By popular request, the preferred form of luncheon is one provided by our own Members. In this regard please let Veronica Burrows know what you propose to bring (we don't need cakes) by email at veronicab17@hotmail.co.uk or on the list in the main hall of the club.
We are probably limited to 14 Teams, so please get your entries in soon and in any event by Sunday the 10th November to enable the handicaps to be prepared (allowing time for protest!). Either sign up on the Club Notice Board or advise Martin Joseph at mjoseph63@hotmail.co.uk
If you are only a pair, then let us know and we will endeavour to put you with others suitably placed
