Hi All,
Another year nearly over, and as I look back on 2023, I feel that it has all gone well for SMBC. Sadly though, we have lost a few members who have passed away this year. Our thoughts are with them and their families, especially at this time of the year. We have also had some new members join, so welcome to them and I hope they are enjoying being part of our club.
Our treasurer, Steve Marshall, has worked out the figures and has suggested a reduction for the next quarter (Jan, Feb and March). So we have agreed on £20. Here are the bank details.
NatWest Sort Code 60-01-31
Account Number 59862181
Stoke Mandeville Bridge Club
As you should all know, Steve Marshall is our new Treasurer, and he has stated that, as long as you have put your name as reference on the payment, he DOES NOT need an email when you pay. He will be happy to accept cash. Please bring this along on a Monday evening. You can, of course, still pay when you play, the cost of which remains at £3 per session.
I hope you all enjoyed our Christmas Party. The quiz that I did is available on our website, with the answers in case any of you were wondering what the correct answers were. I tried to make it fairly easy with just a few difficult ones and as there were three teams with 19/20 I think I achieved this. The winning team was Janet, Christine, Janet and Kathy as they won the tiebreaker. Well Done.
We give prizes to the top two pairs from our yearly Ladder.
1st Richard and Mary
2nd Ted and Elaine
We also give a prize to the best improver over the year. This is worked out from your percentage a year ago and now. This year the prize went to Ralph Holliday with a 3.05% increase.
Congratulations to all our winners.
Congratulations to all our members listed below who have attained a promotion in November!
Peter Wright Advanced Master
Ralph Holliday 2 Star Master
Carol Harris County Master
Rob Stevens Area Master
The three teams have all played about half of their matches with mixed results. Unfortunately more losses than wins but we can all hope for some good results in the New Year. Thank you to the three captains, Mary, David and Carol. Results can be seen through the link on our website. Whilst on the subject of our teams, we had some good news this month that our C team last season who won their Division also won £80 for our club. So well done to Richard Plummer and his team.
Just a reminder that there is no bridge on 25th December nor on 1st January. We will be starting back on Monday 8th January.
The Committee would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2024.
Best Wishes
Mary.
