BRIDGE THOUGHTS ON THE DOBSONS DEPARTURE

We’ve known for over 16 months, this day, alas, would come!

When Mike and Jeanne would pack their cards and leave their Stocklinch home.

We were dealt a 2 club opening hand, when they joined CBC,

Just 12 short years they’ve been with us, and I know we all agree,

That they’re both diamond geezers, and dear to all our hearts.

Now that they’re shuffling off, to some rather distant parts -

What shall we do without them? - It’s very hard to guess.

Sorrow in spades will follow - they’ll leave a void - no less!

We’re all going to feel very down in the dumps

It’ll be much worse than failing to make 7 no trumps!!

We do know why you’re going: grand slam grandparents you’ll prove.

Holly’s been dealt the winning hand!: so, we bid farewell with love.

This event will take place on Monday 3 August and is for pre-booked members only.  There will be no bridge at Merriott Village Hall on that date, but normal play will resume on 10 August.

Welcome to Crewkerne Bridge Club.  Our club night is Monday and we meet in Merriott Village Hall.  There is parking at the rear of the hall.  We are a friendly club and have members of all standards from improvers upwards.  We take it in turns to be host so that players without a partner are always guaranteed a game.  We like to start at 7pm prompt so arrival before 6.50pm would be appreciated so that the Director can sort out the number of tables and joining up of spare players.  

 Congratulations to our club members who attained a Masterpoints promotion last month.

 JANE DARBY became a District Master (1,000 masterpoints)

 TONY NEWMAN became an Area Master (500 masterpoints)
