Chairman’s Report

  • Function Room Availability
    • We shall be in the restaurant on 2nd June, 14th July, 15th September
    •  Amplified music in the lounge is a potential problem when bridge is being played in the restaurant.                                                                         
  • Bridge Teaching

This continues to go really well with 16/12 students some of whom are filtering into evening bridge sessions

  • The Chairman’s Cup is a competition for those having bridge lessons or those new to duplicate bridge. It will take place at Ombersley on Sunday July 9th and would be a good opportunity for some of our students. The cost is £5 pp
