As usual, it includes our super buffet and dessert with wine or soft drinks and features a quiz organised this year by Jane Lawrence (no bridge). The price is an all-inclusive £16 and we have reserved the Tudor Hall at The Old School, Cuckfield, for this event. Doors open at 6.30 pm and dinner will be served at 7.00 pm. Each member may bring one non-member guest. Click here to make your booking, or email secretary@westsussexbc.co.uk.

Bournemouth Mini Break 2024 |
**Last chance to book**
We have to give final numbers to the Miramar hotel at the end of December so this is the last call for anyone else wishing to go to this break in Bournemouth from 11th to 14th February. We currently have 26 WSBC members going and 23 from Horsham and Patcham so you will be amongst friends at a really nice hotel which is almost exclusively booked for us. Full details are here or contact Chris Jago via secretary@westsussexbc.co.uk.

Directors Still Needed |
**Please consider volunteering**
Now that we regularly run three sessions a week, and with the retirement of one long-standing Director, we urgently need to increase the number of Directors. Full training will be given (and you get to play free for the sessions you direct!). Please contact Chris Jago at secretary@westsussexbc.co.uk if you can help.

New Monthly Prizes |
Beginning 1st April we are introducing a new competition based on attendance at face-to-face Club sessions. This will consist of two prizes of unlimited free plays at the Club for the following month in a draw for members who have played at The Old School at least 3 times in the preceding month. Those who have played at least 6 times will have 2 entries to the draw and those who play at least 9 times will have 3 entries. The draw will take place at the first session of the month before play begins. Winners are then excluded from the following month's prize draw. A list of eligible members for both current and previous months can be seen by selecting Competitions on the menu.
We are keeping the Tuesday evening Handicap prize based on the results of at least 3 sessions in a month but the Tuesday evening Open prize and the Thursday evening prize are being discontinued.
