DRINKS
As from Tuesday 1st July, a charge of £1:00 will be due for tea/coffee, refills at no extra charge. A portion of the takings will continue to be donated to our nominated charity.
In our last financial year, we spent £251 just on ground coffee and there is also the expense of milk and tea bags to cover.
Lately, there have been occasions when empty glass coffee jugs have been placed back on the hot plate causing them to crack. New jugs have had to be purchased. Please, if the jug is empty place it on the bar ready to be washed at the end of the session.
Thank you

CLUB SECURITY
In order to protect members from unwanted intruders the Committee has decided the outer door to the Church hall should be locked at the start of each bridge session.
It will still be possible for members to open the door from the inside simply by using the push bar.
STANDBYS
Standbys are now available on a Monday evening.
If you do not have a partner please advise the director at least 15 minutes before the due start time.
At that time the standby will be allocated with someone else looking for a partner and, if not required he/she will go home.

MONDAY SESSIONS
Please comply with our Safeguarding Policy and do not enter the car park before 7:00pm. Please be seated by 7:20 pm to commence play at 7:30 pm.
To ease congestion in the car park at this time, it would be very helpful, if able, to park in the surrounding roads. It is anticipated that 24 boards will be played and the session to end at approximately 10:30 pm.

WHATSAPP GROUP
Any member requiring a partner may find it helpful to put a message on the Club's WhatsApp Group. Any member not on the group is welcome to join and should contact Chris Griffin - 07754-047853 - in the first instance.
Chris will also be happy to post an appropriate message on behalf of a member unable to do so themselves.
ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION
The annual subscription has been reduced to £12.00 with effect from 23.05.22. Please adjust your standing order accordingly.
COVID
It is recommended that members take a lateral flow test before playing F2F bridge at the Club.
We would also ask members not to attend if there is any suggestion they have a viral infection, cough or cold.
