Another very busy week last week - we welcomed five visitors – Sebastian, Sally Kent, Chris Grant and Peter & Paula to our Club – look forward to seeing you all again and then our Christmas Tournament/Party on Friday. WOW we have received so many lovely comments – well done to everyone in making it so successful.

Unfortunately, the event was saddened with the news regarding Carol O’Gorman who had a brief trip to the hospital on Thursday night – luckily, she came out after a brief stay and is on the mend but must rest – so she missed our party. Thank you, Carol, in all the preparations you did into making it such a delightful afternoon/evening and to Loes for stepping into your “big shoes” – not easy.

The website already has pics of the Baby/Tots Quiz Answers, the Lottery Winners, the Tapas and the Tournament winners - see articles below this message. More pictures will be uploaded from the day and the tasteful decorations of the clubhouse.

Thank you to Mike for cajoling everyone in joining in with the Carol Singing!!

We have heard from Susan from sunny Australia – arrived and settled into new accommodation – shattered but lovely weather. She has already had grandchildren visiting her and having to clear up stick finger marks – oh the joys they bring!!!

It is the time of the year now that many are returning to their home countries for the Festive period – so those that are still all hands to the grime please.

If you have any signs of a cold or a cough, please stay away from the Club – we have several vulnerable members. I think winter has just arrived – please bring an extra layer for those that feel the cold.

Bridge bookings for w/c 1^st & 8^th December are now open – slots available - you can e-mail the Club, use the sign-up sheets in the Clubhouse or TURN UP WITH A PARTNER BEFORE 2.00 LATEST. If you have signed up, please be at the club by 2.15pm.

Jávea School of Bridge and Social Club (JSBSC) holds duplicate tournaments currently every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons commencing promptly at 2.30pm.  Doors open at 1.30pm.

We ask that players arrive by the latest 2.15pm thus leaving the Director and Scorer sufficient time to establish and set up the movement for a prompt start at 2.30pm. We have a dealing machine for generating computer dealt hands and also have wireless tablets using ArcScorer.

The tournaments are conducted in the English language and to EBU Guidelines.

We are a multi-national club with Spanish, British, Dutch, German, French, Belgian, Norwegian, Swedish, Austrian, Canadian, Danish and Swiss members - play is in English.
