Club Tournament Directors

♠  We now have 5 newly qualified Club Tournament Directors!  ♣ 

Congratulations to Nigel Seifas who has joined Vicky Johnson, Mark Beioley, Vicki Hudson and Marie Howarth as a successfully qualified Club TD with the EBU. 

They are currently on the TD Rota for the Gentle Duplicate session on Wednesday mornings and from June they will join the TD Rota for all sessions.

We wish them well in their new roles.

Church Car Park for Overflow Parking

♠  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  ♣
