The competition has hotted up over the past month with four members sitting with a total of 5 slams each.

Julie Humphreys has manged 4 slams with her partners in the past two weeks and is sharing top place with Ian Bell, Jenny Musgrove and Neil Riley.

Three other members are on a total of 4 slams, so the competition is very tight at the moment.

CONGRATULATIONS

Welcome to Colchester Castle Bridge Club
ASSOCIATE FACE TO FACE SESSIONS THURSDAYS

We have decided to stop the Thursday afternoon bridge session due to a fall in numbers - we only had 3 last week. The last session is on 30 July.

FACE TO FACE BRIDGE TUESDAYS

Face to face bridge sessions are held at the Quaker House on Tuesdays, please arrive by 1.15pm to enable a start to be made promptly at 1.30pm .The Director will arrange for the tournament to finish by 4.45pm

Please arrive early and help set up tables, chairs, etc.

The table-money is £4 per member & £4 per visitor player for each session. 

Visitors do not pay table-money. A visitor's partner will pay for them. Visiting pairs must identify a member who is paying for them to the treasurer (if present), otherwise the Tournament Director must be informed of the identity of the visiting pair and the member sponsoring them. Visitors should ultimately become members of the Club, paying the joining fee of £5.

 

REAL BRIDGE ON LINE MONDAYS

We are playing on the Real Bridge web site every Monday afternoon starting at 1.30. If you wish to play just click on the link that has been sent to you via email from Bridgewebs, or, click on the link shown in green under the appropriate item in the Bridge Club web site's calendar. Please log in about 1.15 pm.

You will be able to see and hear the other players on your table. If you do not have a partner please log in and wait in the lobby. There may well be other players looking for a partner.

The table-money is £1 per player for each session. 

Visitors do not pay table-money. A visitor's partner will pay for them. Visiting pairs must identify a member who is paying for them to the treasurer (if present), otherwise the Tournament Director must be informed of the identity of the visiting pair and the member sponsoring them. Visitors should ultimately become members of the Club, paying the joining fee of £5.

 

MONEY ON ACCOUNT

A member becomes liable for table money after playing in on line or face to face sessions, and, that member's account is charged with the appropriate amount.

When a member makes a payment it is credited to that member's account.

If members want to know about their account with the club, or, want to know how to make payments, please contact the Treasurer

ccbc_treasurer@btinternet.com

CAR PARKING AT QUAKER HOUSE

There are up to 3 spaces available to the Club but, as they can also be taken up by other users of the Quaker House, there can be no guarantee that all (or indeed any) will be free at any given time.
 

In addition there are 3 Blue Badge parking spaces (with no time restrictions) on Church Street (outside the Colchester Arts Centre) and the Committee asks members who qualify to park there to do so before using any spaces at the QH.

Any member who comes by car and hopes to park at the QH or outside the Arts Centre should arrive early and be prepared with an alternative plan in case no spaces are available.

KEEPING YOUR DETAILS UPDATED
