| John Mathews - Memorial Arrangements |
John's funeral has been set for November 11th with the funeral and burial taking place in East London. After that there will be a Wake in St. Albans at 15:30 where all that knew him are invited to attend. So that the family have an idea of numbers would all those who intend to go to the Wake please email Jane Scaysbrook on: j.scaysbrook@ntlworld.com
On a gentler note, Alex Kent tell's me this was John's favourite hand story here.
Thanks
Steve

| Return to Face to Face Bridge |
Tonight, 25/10/21 will be the last Monday night online Teams that the CIub will be organising. It has become increasingly difficult not to ‘compete’ against the F2F Pairs at Jersey Farm and that must be the Club’s long term priority. We will stop for a few weeks and then I may gauge interest in an Online Teams session on a Tuesday night from the end of November but that may not be viable as people have other commitments.
Since lockdown John Stobo, John Hedges and I have arranged bridge sessions for approximately 10,000 (ten thousand) seats for club members. In return YOUR CLUB NOW NEEDS YOU TO HELP if you feel able. I would love those people that feel able, and particularly those already playing F2F at other clubs, to support the Jersey Farm session. This may only be once a month but we really need the support and especially over the next few weeks. I would be a great shame if we were unable to get a sustainable Monday night session going again given we have been by far the largest Bridge Club in Hertfordshire during lockdown. I appreciate not everyone will be happy playing F2F at present but, if you are, please find some Monday’s to get down to Jersey Farm. Remember it’s a 19:30 start so please be there by 19:20. There’s no need for a partner as the Duty Officer System is back up and running. Without a Monday F2F session we won’t have a St. Albans Bridge Club going forward.
Tonight’s final Teams matches will carry on as planned and there is no change to Thursday night online Pairs.
We hope many of you will be at Jersey Farm in the next few weeks either for the first time as new members or returning after the past 18 months.
Steve and the SABC Committee
