| Christmas Party |
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ At this time of year we think of parties ....... and our Christmas party. This is an excellent time for all our members to come together, beginners, experts etc and play fun bridge in a festive atmosphere whilst raising funds for charity. As in previous years we are asking members to sign up but this year we are asking for a £5 entry fee, payable in advance. However, this will secure your first five raffle tickets on the night. Add, nibbles and wine, fun bridge, spot prizes and this could well be the best value of the festive season. Please click here for further details.♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

| Mary Esson's 100th Birthday Party |
 |
On Sunday 6th October Chichester Bridge Club celebrated Mary Esson’s 100th birthday with a splendid “Bridge Tea” attended by 34 members. The afternoon started with a toast before a number of hands were played, followed by tea. Mary’s son Frank and daughter-in-law Joanna joined the party for tea.
Mary joined the club in the Eighties and played with a great many partners during the course of her bridge career. Unfortunately, not all were able to join her, but those who did enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon

| Which Session? |
The bridge sessions at Chichester club are diverse and hopefully cater to the desires of all our members.
Monday and Thursday evenings are our strongest sessions. 27 boards played. No partner is needed on a Thursday except the 4th Thursday in the month (see below).
The fourth Thursday each month is a Teams session for players of all abilities. Top pairs are randomly paired with less experienced pairs to give an interesting evening. However, for this session you must sign up in advance on the sheet in the clubroom.
Saturday evenings and Tuesday afternoons are more relaxed and 24 boards played.
New bi monthly ‘No Fear Duplicate Bridge’ Friday session started Jan 2017. This session is for students and newcomers to duplicate bridge and we initially expect to play only 15-18 boards. No partner needed for these sessions.
All our sessions are open to all members. Those who are new to bridge or less experienced will probably want to start with the Friday, Saturday or Tuesday session. Visitors new to the club are welcome to trial each session until they find the session(s) most appropriate or exceed six attendances, at which point they would be invited to join. Though the bridge standard varies enormously dependent on the session chosen, we want all members to enjoy their bridge and we expect all members to adhere to Best Behaviour at Bridge at every session.
