It was good to welcome Aileen, Alan and Alice back last week and, also, to welcome our new Member Lynda. On the bridge front a very different week – NO slams and no additions to the 70% club – come on you are not trying!!

On Monday Brian will become a nonagenerian – many, many congratulations and a big thank you for offering to buy the drinks after play to celebrate this milestone – enjoy your very special day.

It’s our Valentine’s Tournament on Friday 13^th – there will be choccies, cava and tapas afterwards on the “house” – please don’t forget to wear either pink or red and enjoy the festivities!!

Some of our past members met up recently on a cruise around the Med – Maureen & John from Garforth and Lyn & Martin – Lyn said they were all enjoying their games of bridge with 8 or 9 tables.

Our thoughts are with a couple of our members recovering from this wretched flu/cold virus & falls – thank you for staying away from the club.

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 arrived – please bring an extra layer for those that feel the cold.

Bridge bookings for w/c 2^nd & 9^th February 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.

Social/Tournament Schedule is now available on the website under Calendar.
