Good morning

Presentation Evening on Monday 28th September

We are hoping to hold our Awards Ceremony on the evening of Monday 28th September, prior to our usual duplicate session, in order to present the trophies that were won in our internal competitions during 2025. (This will also be the date of our next "Mix-In Monday".) Several cups are to be awarded and there will, of course, be wine and nibbles for everyone to partake of. It should be a great opportunity to don your best bib tucker, and celebrate the achievements of our members over the last year. In preparation for this, please could those of you who received trophies at last year's presentation evening return them to us as soon as you can.

Monday Representative on the Committee

A reminder that we are looking for someone to replace John Hill on the Committee as the Monday Representative as soon as possible. If you think you might be interested in helping us to make our club the best that it can be, or if you would like to know more about the post in question, please speak to Jon or Tina.

Lost Property

A blue plastic drinking bottle with a green top was left in the bar on Wednesday afternoon. If it belongs to you, you can collect it from the cupboard in the store room the next time you're at the club.

Team rota for September

At the the table: the Directors' Cut

This week's Director's Cut is short and to the point.

Please remember to switch off the sound on your mobile telephone at the start of a duplicate session! It can be extremely distracting if it goes off during play, especially if we are bidding, declaring or defending a hand which requires a bit of thought.

Thank you.
