Jackpot and President's Cup Start on 1st October

The Friday Jackpot and the Wednesday afternoon President's Cup normally run from 1st May until 31st April. This year we will run 7 month competitions from 1st October until 31st April. After that, we will go back to the previous schedule of 12 month competitions starting on 1st May.

At their meeting on 15th October the committee decided to go back to having a session break with free coffee or tea and biscuit.

18th November – We need volunteers to come during the morning and help with tidying the garden and clearing the yard.

2nd December – We need volunteers during the morning to do some indoor cleaning and put up Christmas decorations.

8th December – There will be a Christmas tea following on from the Wednesday afternoon bridge session.

15th December – There will be a Christmas supper during the Wednesday evening bridge session.

There will be further details here later

Thanks to all members who have completed the survey and there is until 31 October 2021 for those who have not submitted the form yet.

Many of you indicated on the form that you would be interested in various options to support the club. At the moment, there are enough directors, scorers and people to prepare cards but we aim to review this and provide training opportunities for you so that we have a bank of people able to take on these tasks.

There will be a meeting to set up a working party to explore ways of improving bridge play. Watch this space!

Congratulations to Sheila Furness, Christine Willey, Les Winters, Janet Emmett, Sandra Carroll and Carol Keighley for coming top of Division 6 in the recent on line EBU league competition.

Thanks to Stephen Brown for organising and administering the on line league applications on behalf of the club throughout the Covid restrictions.
