| WhatsApp Group for Finding a Partner |
The WSBC WhatsApp group helps members find bridge partners, complementary to the Find-a-Partner message board here on the website, and members are welcome to use either or both methods to help find either a regular or one-game-only partner. If you're a WhatsApp user and would like to join the group, please 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.

| Monthly Prizes |
In addition to our annual competitions, members may win unlimited free plays based on monthly attendance at face-to-face Club sessions. To be eligible to enter the monthly prize drawing, members must have played at The Old School at least 3 times during the preceding month. Those who have played at least 6 times will have 2 entries to the draw and those who have played at least 9 times will have 3 entries. The draw will take place at the first session of each month before play begins and two winners will be chosen at random on the picker wheel. 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.
For those members who like to play on Tuesday evenings, a prize is awarded each month based on the handicapped results of at least 3 sessions in the month.
