We are vey sad to announce the death of Nick Mumby
Nick was not  a member of SBBC but was known to many as  a frequent guest
for most of the period of lockdowns .
Nick and his family were good friends of several SBBC and Ascot players,
who  visited them in the Loire region for many years, where Nick introduced us to Bridge Clubs and Tournaments.

He recently retired to Spain, where he had a heart attack from which he did not recover.
Our condolences to Lynne and Becky

Following the Government announcements it is clear that the reopening of the Club 
for face-to-face Bridge can not be considered before late July

The Club will reopen as soon as possible when it seems safe to do so.
In the meantime the present programme of Online Bridge will continue

We thank members for the good reponse to the questionnaire about your future intentions.
This will help in deciding in deciding upon the f2f and Online programmes when we ae able to reopen
