It was lovely to welcome a few more members back last week from their summer hols – Audrey & Bill, Lynda, Marie-Christine, Kate & Ann Phillips; and we also welcomed two visitors last week – Sebastiano & Magdelenia. We held our first social bridge session on Thursday, 17^th, with three tables – lovely also to welcome Manny & Jackie to this session. Social bridge is now a regular Thursday event until nearer Christmas.

Congratulations to Janet Caley & Wendy Bedford joining the 70% Club on Friday afternoon - scoring 72.92%.

Our Autumnal Supper is organised for Saturday 17^th October at Plaza 6 – poster and menu will be on the notice board this coming week. A friendly game of bridge will be held prior to Supper for those interested followed by an aperitif and tapa. Please email the club if you are interested in playing bridge or sign up on the notice board.

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.

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 21^st & 28^th September  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.

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.
