IMPROVERS COURSE AT RISBYGATE

 

GERRY & EMILY's BRIDGE LUNCH Wed 13th MAY 12 Tables

Once again we were very happy to welcome everyone to the village hall for a delicious lunch thanks to the fantastic Culinary Duo of Gerry Ford and his daughter Emily.

Bridge was also played thank you to Phil and Jackie who directed and did the scoring. 

Congratulations to Will and Angie Who won the main ranking and Bridget and Elizabeth who won the handicap. 

 

NIBBLES!

As I am sure you are aware one of our unique  features at this very friendly club is our delightful social break in Bridge on a Thursday Evening, when we can enjoy a glass of wine or beer, and a delicious selection of nibbles produced by our members.  We have a nibbles rota on which people can sign up , this is physically kept in the village hall and is available for sign up every club session. We have decided to add this information to the calendar in the website, so if you aren't sure when you have promised to do the nibbles you can check on there.! Of course if people change their dates or swap with others it will be incorrect, so please bear that in mind , you can always drop Wendie an e mail if that happens - e mail address in the committee list.. By the way the cost of doing the nibbles is now reimbursed at a flat rate of £30, to reflect the ever increasing cost of food. If you havent done them for a while do have a look at the list next time you are at the club, there are always gaps to be filled.
