| 2026 WMBC Bridge Holiday |
|
In May another successful Bridge holiday was held at the Saunton Sands Hotel in Devon. Forty-eight people attended the four-day break (including 2 non-players). The holiday comprised Duplicate Bridge (TD David Robinson), Social Bridge (hosted by Ann Bailey) and Bridge seminars held by Brent Wormald.
The holiday was very well organised by Chritine Killeen, leaving plenty of time when not playing Bridge to use the hotel facilities (including pools and Spa) and explore the beach and surrounding areas.
Christine Swanston and Sue Hull won the Alan Bailey memorial prize. Many other prizes were awarded. It was a lovely few days to be with friends and make new ones.

♠ ♥ The Church next door has requested that, if we need to use their car-park as overflow parking, can we please only use the spaces at the front of the church (on Hampton Lane). That means turning left as you go through the gate connecting our two properties. Thanks ♦ ♣
