Happy Birthday today 16th September to Audrey.

Have a lovely birthday Audrey - best wishes from all your friends at JSBSC.  

It was lovely to welcome some members back last week from their summer hols with a lot more returning over the next couple of weeks. We also welcomed four visitors last week – Patrick, Guido, Derek and Edwin. We have now reconvened tournaments on our regular three days – Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays and social bridge starts again this Thursday, 17^th, at 2pm prompt.

Update on some of our members - it was great to welcome both Jutta and Maureen Guy back to the club after their mishaps; we will also welcome Ruth back next week; and pleased to report both Carols are on the mend – Carol O’Gorman returning early October and Carol and Terry towards the end of October. Our thoughts are also with Janet Hubbard recovering from her ankle injury – we hope for a speedy recovery.

We have arranged a Teams tournament, using RealBridge, on Saturday 31^st October, Halloween, starting at 3pm against Larkhill. The event will be for charity – Larkhill will be sponsoring the Fireman’s Charity, and we will be sponsoring Javea Bomberos. Please make a note of this date in your diaries – entry will be €5, and we are looking for ten pairs. I will discuss this in detail over the coming week. We are also 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.

We are organising an Autumnal Dinner – Saturday 17^th October – please make a note of the date in your diaries – more info will be available over the next couple of weeks.

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.

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.
