Another busy week at the club last week with four days of tournaments including social bridge. Quieter on the slam front and no additions to the 70% Club. It was lovely to see Nick back at the club and also welcome some new visitors – Lee & Eleonora; sadly, we said farewell to Dieuwke – look forward welcoming her back on her next trip to Javea.
We had a committee meeting previous Friday – bulletin is now available – one main point was the introduction of buying tokens for table money – bags of €40 tokens – hopefully will be starting w/c 9th November.
Up and coming events – quiz night on Saturday 7th November – teams of 4 starting at 7 for 7.30. We have space for one more team and a new quiz master – Len – thanks for offering. Please note each team is responsible for their own catering.
We then have our Annual Remembrance Tournament on Wednesday 11th November where we remember our past members – this will be followed by cava and tapas – FULLY BOOKED.
Sign-up sheets will be going up this week for our Christmas Tournament on Friday 4th December – please note priority will be given to our members before guests. There will also be a sign up-sheet for guest who wish to attend in the evening. We will also be running a Christmas Lottery with lovely festive hampers as prizes.
Message received from Janet Hubbard – ”Dear Sue, please thank everyone for the card and get well wishes. It is so kind and thoughtful of you all to think of me. I'm making a little progress and beginning to be able to stand up without help but it will take quite a long time and a lot of effort to move beyond that. I hope that one day I shall be able to visit the Club and see everyone again. Best wishes, Janet xxx”.
On a sad note, we have received a message from Maureen one of our long term members from the Garforth Bridge Club in Leeds – ”I hope you are all keeping well. I wonder if you would pass this message on to the Club.
Sorry, very sorry to say but our lovely Mike died las week. He had been poorly for a short time. Audrey is managing very well with a wonderful family to help her but obviously hard, really hard. Thank you - Lots of love. Maureen - Garforth Bridge Club”.
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 it is getting cooler.
Bridge bookings for w/c 2nd & 9th November 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.
