Morning lesson/duplicate session cancelled on Friday, June 20th.
All Welcome to come to the Friday evening Beaconside duplicate session, June 20th, at 6:45 for 7 p.m.
All members are welcome to come to the Friday evening club duplicate session at 6:45 for 7 p.m but special invitation is extended to any Friday morning players so they do not miss their bridge this Friday. So near mid-summer a very good day to give the evening session a go if you have not already done so. Please note that your car registration is best to be registered in advance with the club but can be done on arrival as a last resort. For directions and further information see here
You do not require a partner for Friday evening club duplicate sessions but please keep Ann informed if you plan to come without a partner so she is prepared and can plan ahead..
