Hi All,
It is that time again. The summer has gone by so quickly. I think there were a few nice days but I think Autumn has arrived early with the cold days. Perhaps we will get some good weather for the rest of September.
The quarterly amount for October, November and December is due from 1st October and also the annual membership is due then as well. Steve has looked at the figures and proposed that we can continue with the amount of £25 for the quarterly payment and £3 when you pay when you play. The committee have approved this.
The annual membership is £5 which can be paid with the quarterly amount. Therefore, you will need to pay £30. If you want to just pay the membership as you pay when you play, then please just pay the £5.
Here are the bank details.
NatWest Sort Code 60-01-31
Account Number 59862181
Stoke Mandeville Bridge Club
Please put your name as reference on the payment so that Steve knows who has paid. He is happy to accept cash on a Monday night.
The 7.15 start time is now in its third month. We have achieved this every week and some weeks we start a few minutes early. Everyone is turning up on time and I hope you feel that you are getting home that bit earlier. I have been told off by a few for not organising some help over the last four weeks whilst Richard has been away. I should have asked for volunteers to come early and in the future I will do this.
The three team captains, Mary, David and Carol have all organised the match dates. The C team have already played one and I have my first match next week. Thank you to all those that are supporting the three teams by agreeing to play in the matches.
We are very pleased with the support for this event. Lesley has done a lot of work negotiating with the hotel and all those that are planning on attending. Lesley and I went to the hotel and we were very pleased with what we saw. The meeting room, bedrooms and restaurant are all on the same floor level, so no stairs or lifts to negotiate. We have booked for 36, but this might rise to 40. The final amount is due in November and at this point we can increase the number if required, but we can’t decrease the number without losing some deposit. So we now have a waiting list for those that would like to come.
CHILDREN IN NEED.
This is a sim pairs evening and we have supported this event for many years. On the evening, we ask for extra donations and we donate the table money. We have always been very pleased with the support you have shown for this each year with your generous donations. Thank you.
CHRISTMAS PARTY.
This will be a normal pairs evening with some food and drink. We will ask you to arrive from 6.30 for a drink etc before our normal 7.15 start. There will be the usual ladder prize giving and a quiz.
Best Wishes, Mary.
