Lost Property
Lost Property

Members occasionally leave items in The Pavilion after play. Due to shortage of storage space, we cannot look after such 'lost' items for long and so they will either be disposed of or left for anyone to take.

The items pictured have been unclaimed for a while. So, if any of the items are yours, please let a Committee member know asap.

Improvers Lessons

IMPROVER LESSONS

In response to enquiries, Ian, Ray and I plan to run a series of improvers lesson subject to there being sufficient demand.  Numbers will be capped at 12 per lesson so that all those attending can get a chance to play the hands. 

The lessons will be on Wednesday evening from 7pm to approximately 9pm. The format will be a one hour lesson , followed by playing hands to practice the subject of the lesson. They will be held at my house and the cost of £10 includes tea/coffee and biscuits. 

The lesson schedule is here lesson schedule.pdf. Please let me know by email (suephillips222@gmail.com) if you are wish to register for any of the lessons and if so which ones. 

If there is anything you particularly want to learn about that is not covered by the lessons we have chosen please let me know.

Best wishes
