The committee emerged from hibernation today (24th February) to hold its first meeting by Zoom.  Understandably there were exchanges about haircuts, holidays and vaccinations, but once the chairman had regained control, the committee provisionally agreed:

1. To cancel this year's AGM. It is never the highlight of the club's year, and there are no prizes to be handed out anyway.  We hope members understand.
2. To approve the annual accounts, subject to the Honorary Auditor first approving them.
    

In the absence  of any guidance from the EBU or Boris, none of the committee believed that the Club would be returning to face-to-face bridge at the Day Centre before June.

I am very sorry to have to announce this, but Claygate Bridge Club is now closed until further notice. Yesterday afternoon, the committee decided to call an SGM at the start of the evening session to implement the government's advice regarding coronavirus. The mood of the members who attended was that we had no choice but to suspend the club's activities until further notice. We then had a final session of five-and-a-half tables before the enforced break.

We hope to resume activities at the earliest opportunity.

Hope to see you all very soon.

Gavin

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.
