Another busy week at the club and we welcomed Aileen back after her trip to the Far East. Mondays are now getting busy – we can only have 9 and a half tables – please ensure your names are up otherwise you may be disappointed.

We held our first committee meeting of the 2026/7 committee on Friday, and responsibilities of the new Committee were agreed. We have also formed a Social sub-committee including Jan Rylatt, Carol O’Gorman and Loes Mahie who will be organising our social events. The Committee Bulletin will be available next week. The minutes of the AGM are now available - the actions from the AGM were reviewed at the committee meeting – one of these was to review the bar prices. Action complete and revised bar prices are effective from Monday 25^th May.

The Summer Meal is at Javea Golf Club on Saturday 6^th June 7 for 7.30, a few slots available. Don’t forget your menu choices are needed by Friday 29^th May.

Our cashless bar will commence on Monday 1^st June – tokens now available.

Some sad news to report this week – Maureen Guy had a fall in Javea on Thursday and has broken her femur and is in plaster – we wish you a speedy recovery Maureen and hope to see you back at the club soon. I have also heard from Manny who has decided, unfortunately, that he played his last game of bridge at the club on Wednesday – so sad. Manny has done so much for our club, especially his many times as Treasurer, we will all miss him and like to thank him for his service.

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 25^th May & 1^st June 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.
