Starting this coming Monday, we plan to resume weekly face-to-face play.

Here is the small print:

1. To play, you must be double-jabbed and not have any COVID symptoms on the day.
2. We will be delighted to welcome both members and non-members.
3. There will not be a host in the first month.
4. Play will be free of charge for the remainder of October and throughout November.
5. But from 6th December onwards, the table money for members will rise to £2.50 per session, so that pairs can present the treasurer with a £5 note when she collects it. Change will not be given.
6. The usual soft drinks will be provided. If you decide to use the Centre's cups, you must wash and dry them yourself. Of course you can still bring your own drinking vessel.
7. Do not expect biscuits.
8. And finally, do not expect everything to work perfectly on the first night.

Ken died on Sunday 3rd October at an Esher care home. He had been ill for some time. As you know, he was a much-loved member of many years' standing.

I do not know the funeral date but I gather that, for covid reasons, the service will be restricted to 40 attendees. There may be an online broadcast. I will publish any details given to me here.

After a number of years of distinguished service, June Buckland has decided to stand down as President of the club. Mary Blundell has very kindly accepted the invitation to become the next President.

We play Duplicate Pairs each Monday, except Bank Holidays.

The club is affiliated to the EBU, so every session attracts Masterpoints for the highest-ranked players on the night.

Play starts at 7.30 pm, but all players must arrive by 7.20 pm.

A session normally consists of 24 boards, and it should be over by 10.30 pm.

Visitors are very welcome.

We always play at Claygate Centre for the Community, Elm Road, Claygate KT10 0EH.

Commonly called the 'Day Centre', its phone number is: 01372 463476    Map  

The cost per player, which covers both play and refreshments, is:

£2.00 for members, and £3.00 for visitors.

As the club is approaching its limit of 110 members, we may soon have to introduce a waiting list for membership applications.  

REMOVE: never
