Another steady week at the club - it was lovely to see Nick back at the club after his fall, and Sue, Ted, Gabi, Peter & Paula and four visitors – Huguette & Paul and John & Allen. Sadly, Ann P has returned to the UK but hope to see her again soon. 

Paperwork has been prepared for our AGM on Saturday 9^th May – which you should have all received and the Committee Nominations Sheet is now on the Notice Board by the front door. Closing dates for both Resolutions that wish to be discussed at the AGM and Committee nomination is Sunday 3^rd May. To date few nominations – put your thinking hats on – it’s your club – we NEED a committee. Accounts for year ending 31^st December are being finalised by Angela and will be sent by email once complete and, also a budget for 2026 for approval at the AGM.

The Committee had a meeting on Friday, a bulletin will be available later this week – however for your diaries is our summer meal on Saturday 6^th June at the Golf Club.

The sign-up sheet is now up for our Quiz Night on Saturday May 16^th – tables of 4 required – don’t be shy. Each table to sort their own catering requirements.

Thank you to all of those that have responded to the e-mail requesting membership details – there are still quite a few outstanding – please e-mail details to the club. Contents of the e-mail - as some of you are probably aware it is a legal requirement of the Valencian council to ensure each club keeps a record of all its members - full name, postal address, email address and landline and mobile telephone numbers.  We have been quite lax over the last couple of years so before the new committee takes over in May, I would like to ensure all details are up to date.

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 these cooler temperatures.

Bridge bookings for w/c 27^th April & 4^th May 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.

The tournaments are conducted in the English language and to EBU Guidelines.
