Have we got yours?

We have recently purged the members database and it is now up to date. We are pleased to note that the vast majority of members have furnished us with an email address. This will be the main line of communication that we will be using in the future. It is quick, efficient and secure.

Autumn Bridge Break
Autumn Bridge Break

Winchester Royal Hotel

We are delighted to announce that we have managed to book this prestigious hotel for the Autumn break in 2019.
This hotel proved very popular two years ago and we look forward to welcoming you there once again.

The Winchester Hotel was originally buit in the 16th. C. as a private house. It has since been a Bishop's house and a Benedictine Convent. For the past 160 years it has been a hotel and is situated in the ancient city of Winchester close to the historic Cathedral, shops and riverside walks.

We are very pleased with the number of bookings already made to date, but please remember to book soon in the next few weeks to guarantee your place. Bookings must be made on the official booking form which can be accessed by clicking here or a hard copy is available from the club.

 
Duplicate Sessions
Duplicate Sessions

We meet on Tuesday afternoons in the Garden Room, and Friday afternoons in the Colston Hall at Gerrards Cross Memorial Centre from 1.30pm until about 4.30pm.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and accessible club and visitors are most welcome. We operate a host system so you can be sure of a game if you come without a partner.  (This facility is available for a limited number of sessions in any one year and cannot be used on a regular weekly basis.)

Table money is £5 (£7 for non-members) including tea and biscuits.

We play computer generated hands and hand records are available to take away.
Annual Subscriptions

The annual subscriptions will now be due on Jan 1st each year. However, those who have already paid, from Oct 2018 to Sep 2019, will not have to renew until Jan 2020. The current membership fee is £5.00 and will remain at that level throughout the year. Please click here to download a membership form for completion. Thank you.
