Congratulations to the winners of our Afternoon Tea bridge session, Gail and Walter were North/South winners, whilst Janet and Stuart were top in the East/West direction.
A great afternoon was enjoyed by all, with a delicious spread laid on by Sue O'Gorman helped by many volunteer bakers.
A huge thank you to all those who helped make the afternoon a success.
Thanks also to those who helped support Junior Bridge in the county by buying raffle tickets. A total of £115 was raised for this very worthy cause.

| Cashless Payments |
We want to make payments and deductions as easy as possible, allowing us to concentrate on playing bridge. Whether you are playing in person, or online, your payment for the session will be handled electronically. C&NWBC uses BridgeWebs to record participation in games of bridge, which then results in deductions from your C&NWBC account balance.
The preferred method is via electronic advance payment, either an ad hoc bank transfer or a regular standing order to the bridge club account. Alternative methods of payment can be arranged with the Treasurer if necessary.
A single payment account can be used for a couple’s play at the club.
Full details are available at Cashless Payment Process (updated 1st April 2024).
