It is with much sadness that I have to inform members of the passing of Nick Eyre.
Nick was diagnosed with Covid-19 while in hospital receiving treatment for a life-threatening illness.
It was a privilege to have known Nick and call him a friend, and I am sure that his friendly personality and sense of humour will be missed by many at the club.
Our thoughts and prayers go to Nick's many friends.
May he Rest in Peace.

It is with regret that I have to inform members of the passing of former club member Maureen Malone.
Maureen was a member of Heathercroft for over 20 years until she moved to Liverpool in 2017.
Maureen, who was in her late nineties, passed away at home (as far as we know) on 16th January.
Our thoughts and prayers go to Maureen's family and friends.
May she Rest in Peace.

One option is Bridge Base Online. Membership is free and all casual games are free. Many members play Standard American but you can play with a known partner and/or opponents and play Acol if you want. The EBU organise daily tournaments on BBO at a charge of $2 per 12-board session. The EBU has a useful BBO Guide on its website, explaining how to use BBO.
Another option is Bridge Club Live. There is a membership fee but no charge for either social or tournament bridge. You can state the systems you play in your profile. Drop-in Drop out tournaments are available. Heathercroft has registered as a club with BridgeClubLive which will allow members to play with other Heathercroft members within BridgeClubLive.To register Heathercroft as your club, log in, click on "Members", click on "Clubs", select Heathercroft from the list and follow the instructions to register. You will see the other Heathercroft members who have registered and whether they are online.

 The Yarborough Arms is the place where can drop in after the game and enjoy a friendly chat.
Note the Yarborough Arms is pintless (sic) so you will need to bring your own.
