| Great NGS Performances in July |
July is proving an exceptional month in the annual competition to see who can get the best result against their NGS expectation HERE. In total 7 of the best 10 scores of the year have so far been set in July. Leading the way are Peter Cridland and Roger Cook but Bob Harrison & Alan Astell, Jacqueline Williams & Louise Peck, Brenda Aldworth & Brian Wells, Bella O'Connell & Jenny Turner, Philip Minor & Linda Spiri and Jim Fry & John Roberts have all produced excellent results. It's great to see so many new names on our leader board.

| Starting Times |
It is difficult for directors and scorers to set the movement and to arrange the room if members turn up on the dot of 7.30. So can I ask you all to be there and seated by 7.20 (at least one player per pair) please? It might be that in the long run we will have to have a cut off time of 7.25/7.20 for participation in an evening's session.
I would also like to remind you that we do not have mobile phones on and in use in the hall during the evening, so please turn them off / on silent during the evening.
Thank you for your cooperation in this.
John M.
