On Monday 22^nd September we celebrated the Silver Anniversary of the inaugural meeting of Horning Bridge Club.

The party followed the AGM which saw a record number of 45 attendees!

A sumptuous feast was provided along with Prosecco and an enormous cake.

The cake was made by Sally Church in Neatishead and was delivered, by her, to the hall.

Our Honorary Life President, Suzanne Gill, who founded the club, cut the cake, which was enjoyed by everyone present.

Ann Riley was presented with the Bill Whipp trophy for the person who had most improved their scores over the previous year.

We were thrilled to welcome 7 Founder Members to the party: Jane Brown, Diane Harber, Matt Jackson, Tony Longstaff, Tony Shingler and Tessa Shingler, who had originally booked Horning Village Hall for the Bridge Club in perpetuity.
We now look forward to many more years of playing Bridge.
