A big THANK YOU to those who have volunteered to be substitutes on a Monday and Thursday.
Unfortunately we cannot run a session using Bridge Base Online with a half table. The system just doesn’t allow it. So if we cannot get enough volunteers we are in big trouble. On Monday 1st June Chris was in big trouble and had to let two strangers, both from Romania and Iceland, come in and play. I have had complaints as to their behaviour and we do not want this repeated.
Please will you agree to volunteer (preferably with your partner) for at least one session? This means that you may or may not be needed to play, depending on our numbers.
Anyone who volunteers will get a free session when we are next face to face as it is not possible to do this through Bridge Base Online
To get your name on the substitute rota please contact Ann Palmer on 07761 984371 or email ann@tessabridge.co.uk. Ann has kindly offered to run the rota

PARKING ON OUR MONDAY SESSION
To give us extra parking on a Monday, we have once again rented the Scout Car Park. This can be reached by going into the entrance (over the little bridge) and turning right towards the Tennis Club. The Scouts' building is the second building along and the gates to the car park will be open. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE FIT AND ABLE, USE THIS SPACE on a Monday to allow others who visit the centre for other classes, to park their cars (some are elderley and disabled). Your help would be greatly appreciated.
PARKING ON OUR THURSDAY SESSION
Unfortunately we are unable to rent the Scout Car Park on a Thursday. There are a few extra spaces available if you go down the lane towards the Scout Building and through the gate. You can then park on the right hand side opposite the green. There is also the Pay and Display in the village, just a short walk through the play area.
