The agenda for the meeting can be read by clicking HERE

1. The numbers attending at the club will be limited to 50 attendees plus the Chair and Club Manager. A sign up will be available on our website.

2. We hope to hold a parallel meeting on-line using Zoom although this may be technically challenging. Details will be announced nearer the time.

3. Attendees at the club will be required to wear masks throughout the meeting in accordance with current Scottish Government regulations.

4. Out of respect for your fellow members we would ask that only members who have been double vaccinated or who have had a negative lateral flow test within the previous 24 hours, attend the AGM in person. However, we will not be seeking documented proof and will therefore be relying on the honesty and integrity of the members that come to the club premises that night.

5. We have decided not to formally present any trophies or prizes at the meeting as the last season was not completed and numbers attending are being limited. A list of tournament winners will be published in due course.

6. Christine McLaren, Alan Goodman, David King, Brenda Wingate & Kate Aggett are stepping down from the Board at the AGM. We thank them for their service. The new nominees are listed on the agenda.

7. The treasurer will publish a summarised version of the accounts and make them available prior to the meeting on paper and via email to members. The full accounts will also be available after the meeting, upon request.

8. We will hold an informal drinks reception after the meeting during which the Club Manager will give a demonstration of the new dealing technology for those who may be interested.

Please Note: There will not be any bridge played that night.

Are you interested in learning to play Bridge?

If so, we offer a full range of classes extending over six terms (three years) which take you from absolute beginner to club player.

Our classes for the Autumn term will start the week beginning 20 September and will be delivered on-line using 'Zoom' and BBO

We also offer a Practise, Revise & Consolidate course for people who are at about lesson 40, on Tuesday evenings at 7.00 pm.

All of our classes take the form of some theory followed by card play with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. There is a quiz sheet for each lesson which is reviewed at the start of the next lesson. As well as all of the materials handed out in the classes, students will be able to download additional materials from our website.

There are ten 2-hour lessons in each 12-week term including two weeks of revision. The lessons are supported by printed material and once students reach a suitable level, special  tournaments are hosted by the club to allow them to put the theory into practice.

Our lessons are taught by Scottish Bridge Union (SBU) approved teachers and follow the SBU teaching curriculum using materials created by the SBU, so you can be sure you will be learning the most modern conventions.

The class fees are £80 per term or £40 for juniors (under 26).
