Tuesday 5th December it's the Surrey Dorin Salver Sims.

We are holding another heat of the Surrey Dorin Salver Sims on Thursday, 7th December at 1:30pm.

The Dorin Salver is Surrey's annual charity Sims, hosted by Clubs, in aid of the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation Brain injury centre in Banstead.  Table money is £3 extra, which is passed directly to Surrey County Bridge Association for the charity.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Charity pairs by playing in the event, buying a raffle ticket, donating a prize or helping to organise the event.  It was truly a team effort and as a result, we raised £5,000 for the Don's Local Action Group.  Tim Marshall, Deputy Head of Operations at DLAG, came to speak on Sunday and told us about how the charity came about and how the money we raised will be used to buy much needed mattresses for families in need across the Borough.

After a closely fought last round, in which the top spot changed three times, the winners were Kirsty Platts and Marianne Tudor-Craig, pictured being presented with the Trophy by Billie Stephens.  Runners up were Greg and Maks Blicharz with Tim and Naomi in third place.

Raffle prize winners have been notified by email and prizes can be collected from the office (ask the session director).

If you are going to arrive later than 10 mins before the start of the session, it is essential that you call the club on 0208 947 0147  at least 15 minutes beforehand so that you can be included in the movement. If you don't do this you may not be able to play.

Regular sessions at WBC are intended to provide a friendly and enjoyable environment to play the game of Bridge, and members should conduct themselves in the spirit of this aim.  If you feel you have been affected by anything at the table that is not in the spirit of the Best Behaviour at Bridge code then the director should be called immediately.  The other players should not retaliate or enter into an argument or discussion.  Please click here to see the BB@B code.
It is hoped that most incidents can be resolved at the time.  If any player wishes to make a formal complaint, they should do so at the time so that the director can complete the appropriate report, which must be signed by all parties.  Where the incident occurs outside a play session or, if occurring at a play session is, for a valid reason not reported to the director, it must be reported in writing (or via e-mail) to the Chair or Secretary of the Club within two weeks of the incident.
