Hi All,
Halfway through the year already and the longest day has been and gone. Downhill now to the shortest day in December. What a terrible thought. Hopefully we will have some lovely summer days to enjoy. As always, the first thing to inform you about is the next quarterly payment.
This will remain at £25 for July, August and September. The pay when you play will also remain at £3.00.
Here are the bank details. Cash on a Monday evening is acceptable as well.
NatWest Sort Code 60-01-31
Account Number 59862181
Stoke Mandeville Bridge Club
Please put your name as reference on the payment.
This year we will be supporting Motor Neurone Disease in memory of Maria Ibos who died on June 3rd. Maria last played at our club on 22nd September with David McAleavey, and as it happened, it was her best result for that year, scoring 66.88%. I am sure we all have good memories of Maria, and we will all miss her. I hope you will support our charity evening, and bring some cash along to boost our donation to a worthwhile charity.
The SMBC Bridge weekend will be held at Staverton Park Hotel on 15th – 17th January 2027. The cost will be £270 per person for single occupancy, £200 per person for double occupancy and also a Bridge fee of £20 for each person playing bridge. A £50 deposit will be required by 31st July with final balance required by 21st November. If you wish to reserve a place, please email lesleyebwright@yahoo.co.uk. If you have attended in previous years and all your details remain the same, Lesley will be happy to just accept an email confirming your registration. If your details have changed or this is first time of attending, you will need to complete the registration document. Lesley will send the details to you by email. Any queries please contact Lesley by email or on 07933 608512.
As you know, the committee decided to improve our scoring system by moving to Bridgemates 3. There is a delay on the equipment getting to our supplier, but he is hopeful that we should have it all in by mid-July.
Aylesbury Aces are holding a charity bridge afternoon, raising money for Horatio's Garden at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. If you are interested in taking part, please look at their website where you will find all the details you need.
Monday 31st August - This is a bank holiday but there will be bridge as normal.
Monday 9th November - We will be supporting Children in Need Sim Pairs.
I think that is all I need to mention. Thank you all for supporting our club.
Best Wishes Mary.
