There will not be any bridge at Sedbury on Monday 25th December or Monday 1st January. Other than that bridge will be as normal at all other times. In February our club will be celebrating the start of our eighth year. To recognise this we will be holding an anniversary party on Thursday 1st February. All Monday and Thursday players are invited. We will present trophies to the winners of the two competitions run in 2023.

After a consultation with members, we will once more be paying the U3A subs for regular players from our group funds. They are due to be paid by 1st April and will be £12. This will mainly be for anyone who has played for a minimum of twenty times during 2023. There will be some exceptions for players who joined later in the year, paid their own U3A subs in 2023 and have played regularly for a minimum of six months since they joined us. More details will be given in The New Year.

Our next gathering will be on  Monday December 11th. 

I think the following people will be playing;-  Chris/Joanne, Jen/ Brian/, Jane/Doug, Sandra/Bill, Rosemary/Ian, JanetA/Stephen, Alys/Vic, Moyanne/Alan, Josie/Andrew, Steve/Dick, Grace/David,  Hazel/Bridget, Jenny/Tony.

Please let me know as soon as possible if any of the above cannot make it or if I have missed you out and you want to play? 

For next Monday, Ian will Score and Direct the movement.

Please arrive before 6.45p.m., so that we can have a prompt start and emulate last week!     

Thank you all for your continued support.

Best wishes,

Tony

The U3A social Bridge Group play on a Friday morning between 10.00 a.m  and 12. 00 a.m. at Sedbury Village Hall. The convenors are Chris and Kerie.

Just turn up before the start time, if you do not have a partner Chris and Kerie should be able to fix you up with one.  We play rubber bridge, in the main using the ACOL bidding system but if all four players at a table want to use a separate system then they may do so as long as everyone agrees. 

For further information contact Chris or Kerie
