| Charity Cream Tea Tuesday 11th August |
This year the charity we were supporting was Thumbs Up For Charlie. Charlie was the nephew of club and committee member Jacqui Haworth, and he passed away at 5 years of age from a brain tumour. His family have formed a charity in his memory, which primarily funds respite breaks for families with children suffering from brain tumours, and also helps fund research at Alder Hey in Liverpool. More information about Charlie and the charity can be found at www.thumbsupforcharlie.co.uk
Todays event was won by Enid Noronha & John Holland, who also bid and made a grand slam to pick up a bottle of champagne each. All of the table money and some extra donations came to £530, which will be forwarded to the charity.

| Online Account for Online Games |
 |
Please be aware that the BridgeWebs attendance Module is not a real time system. It reflects entry fees spent on online and face-to-face games but does not reflect money paid into your online account until it is manually updated from the Club's bank statement. Our 'WebMaster', Dave Fernley performs these updates periodically- usually weekly. If you need to know your balance between updates, call Paul or Dave.
The new Bridgewebs Attendance Module for tracking payment money for online games is now live.
It provides you with a real-time view of the games you have played, the current balance of your account and payments made and received by your account.
To see this information you will need to log on to the Members Only area of the website and then select thePayments Account tab.
Detailed instructions logging onto this area are available here
A detailed description of the Online Account, how it works, etc, is also available here within the Members Only Area (log-on needed).
Account statements will also be sent out periodically by email. This ensures that people who choose not to actively monitor their account balance are still aware of it. The statement provides a regular update to non-members who play in our online games who do not have access the member's area and therefore the real time benefits of this system.
