| FAB RESULT DREW AND MARK |
 Well done Drew and Mark for winning your first piece of silverware. After a tough quarter Drew and Mark were victorious. A wonderful result as they haven't been playing competitively with us for long. Well done gents. Pic shows Drew (left) and Mark showing the prizes they chose. Unfortunately the Tudor Plate itself has already begun it's journey to our new venue so they won't meet up for a week or two - sorry about that gents.

| Congratulations Jane Fitzhugh |
Congratulations from across the club to our dear friend Jane Fitzhugh. Her birthday is on Friday, so we were going to do our best to embarrass her when we play face-2-face on Thursday this week. But she was one step ahead of us!
Luckily, one of our elves asked casually about her plans for Thursday. Although Jane was loathe to give any details it soon became clear that playing bridge didn't feature in her plans. So, she was ambushed at her regular lesson on Tuesday afternoon, and the deed was done. Pics show Jane being presented with her gift, on behalf of the entire club, by Nigel.
Have a wonderful day on Friday Jane.

| HOW TO FIND OLD SODBURY VILLAGE HALL |
If you are travelling from the west of Chipping Sodbury, (i.e.Yate, Frampton Cotterell, Winterbourne or Downend) make your way to the Badminton Road (A432) heading east towards Old Sodbury and the A46. When you have driven past Yate and Chipping Sodbury, still on the A432, you will start to pick up signs for Old Sodbury. Pass Chipping Sodbury Caravans and Motorhomes on the left hand side. Pass the Bell Inn on your right hand side. After another couple of hundred yards/metres you will see a blue petrol station on the left hand side. Immediately after the garage, and opposite The Dog Inn on the right hand side, you will find the left hand turning for Cotswold Lane. Take that turning.
However, if you are travelling from east of Chipping Sodbury you need to make your way towards the A46 and at the Cross Hands turn onto the Badminton Road (A432) towards Old Sodbury and Chipping Sodbury. As you drive along the road gently bends round to the left and you will see The Dog Inn on the left hand side and the petrol station on your right. Turn right onto Cotswold Lane opposite The Dog.
Once you have turned on to Cotswold Lane there is a sign for the village hall on the right hand side of the road, about 100 yards/metres along. That's it. You have arrived. Just drive up the slope and into the capacious car park. We look forward to welcoming you there.
