| Play with a County Player |
The DCBA are running 3 events aimed at helping players interested in partnering a player that regularly participates in County events. Our hope is this may help players to take the next step and that they themselves will become regulars in County events. Anyone interested please forward their name and contact details to DCBA Secretary Jim Parker 07980716894 (text/phone/Whatsapp) or email jimparker@totalise.co.uk
These details will be passed on to the DCBA Event Organiser who will co-ordinate the 3 events which will be held at Spondon on Wednesdays13th Dec, 3rd Jan & 13th March 7pm start, We hope that partnerships will try and play in all 3 events and there is a prize for the newcomer who gets best result(the best two scores in the 3 events will be used to declare the winner)

The organisers would be very grateful for assistance with all or any of the following:
- Preparation of food for the buffet. All contributions of a dessert, salad or other savoury item will be very welcome. All ingredient costs will be reimbursed.
- There will be a raffle on the night the profits from which will go towards the ongoing maintenance costs for the building. Donations of suitable raffle prizes will be greatly appreciated. These can be left with Tony at the Old School.
- We will also need help with clearing up after everyone has finished eating. It won’t take long if we can get a team of volunteers willing to clear tables, bag up rubbish and wash up and the sooner it is done, the sooner we can start playing bridge!
If able to help in any way, please contact Sue Birch or Anne Townsend. Their respective email addresses are: suebirch@hotmail.co.uk. or annetownsend346@btinternet.com
