GENERAL NOTICES

 

MEMBERS CHOOSE NEW LOGO FOR CLUB

Following a fascinating presentation by the 2nd year students of Heriot Watt’s University’s  Department of Design and Branding in April, members were subsequently invited to choose one of the 8 designs on offer as a new brand for the Club
Copies of the designs were posted in Room 2 of the Abbey Row Centre as well as on our website, and members were invited to choose the designs in order of 1st choice, 2nd choice, and 3rd
37 members gave their votes which resulted in a clear preference for design number 1 - ‘The Bridge 76 points, with The Crown second 33 points, and Happy third 26 points.
Comments on the brands were also invited and those for the Bridge suggested that whilst the concept was very good, it would benefit from further refining.
Accordingly the Club has entered into further discussions with the University to arrive at a more usable logo 
Thanks to you all for helping in this initiative taking the Club forward 

 
SCHOOLS INITIATIVE

For a number of months now, a team of club members have been working in Edenside and Ednam  Primary Schools, teaching P7 (and some P6) young people how to play minibridge.  This project has been very successful with cohorts of young people enthusiastically choosing playing and beginning to learn some of the basic skills involved in minibridge.  We are hoping that the project will continue with new cohorts at Edenside and Ednam, but also that we can arrange for last year's P7's to continue playing into High School.

Obviously this has demanded a big weekly commitment from a small number of volunteers (Helen R, Jane N, Gill R, Mary S and Brian Y) and we are calling for additional volunteers to help sustain these sessions into the school year 2026-27.  If you are interested in helping out and enjoying this rewarding work, please reach out to anybody in the team.  They would love to hear from you.  No 'teaching' experience required, simply a readiness to enjoy playing and supporting young people play cards.
