Friday’s results have now been uploaded to the website 😀😀

I have decided during the summer to reduce the message from weekly to fortnightly albeit if anything urgent pops up I will put on the website – don’t forget to check.

Unfortunately over the last couple of weeks’, we have said farewell to Carol, Elva, Lynda & our Editor Sue for the summer, but welcomed back Len S, Marie Jo & Alan and our visitor Dieuwke.

Another couple of steady weeks at the club. Congratulations to Janet C & Alan B for joining the 70% Club on Friday. Social Bridge on Thursdays is continuing – this week we had two tables with Manny at our session last week. During July we are running bridge tournaments on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays – please sign-up so we have ideas of numbers and Social Bridge will continue for at least the next couple of Thursdays.

I would like to thank in advance for Maaike buying birthday drinks on Monday after bridge, barman Mike will be on hand – tapas & chocolate cake is also being provided.

Some sad news – unfortunately we have heard that poor Jutta has broken her leg – we have sent a card with our thoughts; and Maureen Bowen’s hubby is in hospital poorly – a message has been sent to her with our thoughts.

Lastly, with so many of us away please help the remaining committee members in organising our tournaments – both before and after.

The 2026 World Cup well is now in the last sixteen stage - a number of us have fallen by the wayside but nail biting for a number of you. 

If you have any signs of a cold or a cough, please stay away from the Club – we have a few vulnerable members. Also, we would remind you to dress accordingly - bring a cardigan, jacket, or shawl with you as the aircon is on.

Bridge bookings for w/c 6th & 13^th July 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. 

We are proud of our reputation for being a friendly club and extend a very warm welcome to visitors.
