  NEW PRESIDENT

I would just like to congratulate Val being elected President of the Club tonight.

I have decided that it is time I retired to the back benches and I shall therefore no longer be directing any of our sessions, organizing any events or managing our web site and IT facilities. I shall be attending most of our sessions as a simple bridge player.

This will be my last news posting and I would be grateful if you have any questions in future, please direct them to Val Threadgould.

Kind Regards, Roy Brixton
