A lovely day on Monday afternoon for our Easter Tournament with nine and a half tables competing. Many thanks to Loes for preparing such delicious tapas (so I’m told) and to Carol for producing such lovely Easter basket prizes for our lottery. A big thank you to everyone else who contributed to such a wonderful afternoon – lovely atmosphere.

Welcome back to our lovely Barry and to Ann Phillips; and to our visitors – Sandra Bond & Veronique. Also, a welcome to our new ex-member Marie-Jo.

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 upto date.

Paperwork is being prepared for our AGM on Saturday 9^th May - the Committee Nominations Sheet is now on the Notice Board by the front door – it would be great to see some new names added – put your thinking caps on. You will all receive info on our AGM, by e-mail, shortly.

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 13^th & 20^th April 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.

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.

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. 

We are proud of our reputation for being a friendly club and extend a very warm welcome to visitors.
