The date for the AGM is Monday 11^th May and it will start at 6.45. Nearer the time we will send out the Agenda and a copy of our accounts. If you would like to add in an item to be discussed at the AGM, please let me know a.s.a.p.

We held our second bridge weekend in January and there was 48 people playing bridge. It all went very well, and we felt that this year went even better. Food and rooms were all very good. The bar was kept open for those who wanted to have a drink after an evening of bridge. The weather was lovely for travelling there and back. On Saturday afternoon, which is the only free time during the weekend, the weather was good for those that went out and about. We have provisionally booked the same weekend next January. We will send out details in June to see if there will be enough interest to run our third bridge weekend.

Both teams have now played all their matches. The A team have unfortunately ended up in the relegation spot, so will be in Division 3 next season. So often, we would be doing really well and then the last six boards went badly for us and we ended up losing. That is how it goes! The B team, have had similar experiences, but hopefully they have done enough to stay in Division 3. Thank you to all those that have played in the matches and supported David and me as the two captains.
