August Bridge
We are continuing with the suspension of Tuesday and Wednesday evening sessions. Other than that, all face-to-face sessions will run except the Thursday evening 25th August. Online sessions, 2pm Tuesday and 10am Thursday, will continue.
Tuesday afternoon bridge - hosts available
It looks like we will have sufficient hosts to cover all Tuesday afternoon face-to-face sessions. So anyone without a partner can turn up and be guaranteed a game.
Peter Styles stepping down from Management Team
After nine years of dedicated service, Peter Styles is stepping down from the Management Team. When the board and committee came together, he was appointed Training team leader. With the help of Sue Ryles, Anne Bryant, Robbie Kingston, Sarah Jones, Sue and Paul Debling, Oliver Winters, Richard and Trish West, Brian and Anne Lawless, Steve Clarkson, Philip Onions, Jane Harris, Pam Croft, the teaching has gone from strength to strength, picking up from where Tony Hudson, with the continuing of first- and second-year teaching courses, left off.
Further courses and seminars have been arranged to supplement the standard courses, as well as Assisted play sessions to increase general knowledge throughout the club. To supplement the teaching, various professional teachers have been invited to the club and have proved extremely popular. Andrew Robson (arranged for November 2023), Michael Byrne, Abbey Smith, Adrian Thomas (Welsh international), Andrew Kambites have all run seminars at the club.
