Sue Holden |
We are very sad to advise that Sue Holden, who had been in Pembury Hospital for several weeks, passed away on Sunday evening.
She joined the Club in 2002 and was a very popular member, having been largely responsible for the introduction of Friday afternoon duplicate in 2008.
Her husband, David, is also a member of the club and played regularly with her on Friday afternoons. She and David have two sons, Richard and Duncan. Sue and Duncan played regularly on-line on Monday afternoons until recently. The funeral will be private for close family members only.

Sunday DupliCAKE 19 May 2024 |
The next Sunday DupliCAKE is on 19 May with a prompt start at 2pm . As usual it will be limited to easily explainable conventions ( same as Tuesday or Friday afternoons) and is a social event for those who want a more relaxed session. For your enjoyment the session stops for a cake break half way through. To make things easier, these will be available in the Diana Hill room as well as the Centenary room together with tea and coffee facilities. There will be approximately 20/24 boards and we aim to finish between 5.15 and 5.45pm. If you are looking for a partner one will be arranged for you when you arrive at the club. Do come along and enjoy the afternoon and register your interest on the "Tell us" tab which is available now.

International bridge festival of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage |
This year will be the 67th occasion this Festival will be held. The Bridge Festival of Le Touquet is one of the most famous French festivals, one of the oldest ones, with important endowments in cash and in kinds, and, maybe most important, the most friendly Festivals, acknowledged by all the past attendees: "you come once to the Bridge Festival of Le Touquet, you come back every year"!
Easy access, 40 minutes from the Channel Tunnel, nice resort, created by English people more than 100 years ago, Le Touquet is The Favourite Resort of our British friends. Moreover, the English rugby squad had selected Le Touquet, as a hub, to stay during the last year rugby world cup which has been held in France.
The dates of the 67th INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE FESTIVAL OF LE TOUQUET-PARIS-PLAGE: From Tuesday August 27th to Sunday September 1st, 2024.
