| ANNE MACHENRY |
It was with great sadness that we learned of Anne MacHenry’s death on Wednesday, 13th November, the funeral service having been held on Saturday 16th November. Some may remember Anne from when the Club was based in Eglantine Avenue – she knew those halcyon days when you could smoke and drink in the club (not that she had smoked since the sixties!). In recent years she mostly was known to the Friday afternoon group (and some of the Inter A/B Tuesday evening players) by whom she will be sorely missed. If anyone kept us on our toes on Fridays Anne did, not only with her quick, sharp mind but her canny play and all that at 95 years of age. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her son Rupert, who brought her to bridge so regularly, and all the family.

| Club Rule - Seating Positions at the Table |
Members and Visitors are reminded of the following rule:
At ALL Club sessions, prior to the playing of the first board, the tossing of a coin or drawing of lots will determine the NS & EW seating positions if one pair requests it. Tournament Directors, players who for health reasons prefer to sit or move and those who can’t use the electronic scorers are exempt from this rule and get their choice.

| Barrier Details and Instructions Update – Sainsbury’s Gate Entrance |
 The Harbour Estate gate at Sainsbury’s (Tillysburn) is now controlled by automatic entrance and exit barriers from approximately 21.00 to 06.00 (Monday to Saturday) and all day Sunday. If you come to the barrier and it is down drive up to the barrier, stop beside the pedestal, and present your Belfast Harbour plastic pass to the panel with a key on it and the barrier will then magically rise! If you haven't got a pass press the intercom button and wait for a reply; state that you are coming from or going to Kelvin Malone Bridge Centre and the barrier will then magically rise!
In the event of a problem ring the Belfast Harbour Police on 028 9055 3000 and they will sort it out.
