I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to the City of Lincoln Bridge Club.

We are a friendly club which offers something for everyone:

• Lessons for absolute beginners and more experienced players looking to improve their game
• Weekly duplicate sessions for all, with computer-dealt hands and bridgemates for ease of scoring
• Additional challenges for our best players, e.g. representing us in county and regional competitions.

We meet at the Lindum Sports Association, St. Giles Avenue, LN2 4PE. There are good parking facilities and a bar in the evening - not to mention a lovely view of the cricket pitch!

Duplicate sessions take place on Mondays at 6.50 pm and Wednesdays at 1.05 pm. New players and visitors are very welcome. If you need a partner, please contact Elaine Proctor on 01522 878059 and she will try to find you one.

I look forward to welcoming you to our club.

We were all very sorry to hear that Ron had passed away in April, and we held a minute's silence in his memory before our duplicate session on the day of his funeral. Ron was a long-standing member of the club and played regularly on Wednesday afternoons prior to lockdown. I remember him, and his partner Sheena, as being extremely friendly and welcoming towards everyone at their Bridge table - especially new players. He was a real gentleman and is greatly missed.

Our weekly lessons for Beginners and Improvers have now resumed and are back in full swing! They take place on Tuesdays from 6.50 pm to 9.00 pm. Please contact Tina Page on 07840 750779 if you think you, or someone you know, might like to join us.

Please check out our new guidelines for "Best Behaviour at Bridge" in the Information section of the website. These have been adapted from the EBU guidelines of the same name.

The next county events are:

• Sunday 12th June 12.00 noon - Veterans' Pairs Event
• Sunday 3rd July 1.30 pm - AGM, followed by the Bill and Eileen Herbert Trophy Pairs Event.

These take place at Dunholme Village Hall. (Further details can be found on the Lincolnshire Contract Bridge Association website.) Please try to support them if you can. They are a good opportunity to meet players from around the county - as well as being great fun!

We are still keen to know your answers to these questions:

1. What do you personally want to get out of the club?

2. What is good about the club that you would not like to see changed?

3. What could be improved to make the club even better for you?

4. How are you involved in the running of the club in future? (Optional)

5. How would you like to be involved in the running of the club in future? (Optional)
