Congratulations to Barry Webb & Sue Wood who joined the 70% Club on Thursday 8th October. They scored 73.61% beating their nearest rivals by 15.28%. A great afternoon’s play well done. 

It was lovely to welcome two new members to our club last week – Sebastiano Branonisio & Derek Willis. We also welcomed back from their summer hols – Angela & Hans, more this coming week.

We are preparing a new telephone list – you have received an email – please check information is correct as the list will be printed the latter part of this week.

Last week’s committee meeting bulleting is now available on the website and on the notice board at the club.

Our Autumnal Supper on Saturday 17^th October at Plaza 6 is now FULL - 46 members and guests. Please ensure your menu choices are on the notice board for Loes to organise with the restaurant. A friendly game of bridge is being held prior to Supper followed by an aperitif and tapa. Currently we have five tables - if anyone else is interested, even if they are not attending the meal, please email the club or sign-up on the Tournament notice board.

Unfortunately, our Teams tournament against Larkhill on 31^st October has been cancelled – Larkhill could raise enough pairs – obviously heard of the strong competition!!! The event was for charity – Javea Bomberos so we will continue running a lottery – names associated with, Fire, Halloween and Fireworks Night - €2 entry with ALL proceeds going to charity with the lucky winner winning a lovely hamper. Maggie will be pestering you over the coming days!!

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 5^th & 12^th October 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.
