We also played a home match against the MCC on 28th March. It was relatively close with Roehampton Club finally winning by 27 imps. The result was heavily influenced by one board in the second half where a good sacrifice by the Roehampton Club pair rather fortunately turned into a thin game resulting in a double game swing to Roehampton Club.
There are several upcoming fixtures to look forward to including Queens Club at home on 7th May and the Oxford and Cambridge club at home on 14th May and matches scheduled in June against RAC Woodcote and RAC Pall Mall.
Many thanks to Nigel for running the Friday teams session twice monthly over the winter season. It was great to see this being so well attended. From May we will switch to the summer programme with the Friday teams moving to the third Friday of the month only. Many thanks also to Maria Wiehe for offering to help run this summer programme once again.
Bridge Summer Party
Organization for the Bridge Summer Party to be held on Thursday 6th June is now well underway. Hopefully the weather will favour us and we can start with drinks in the garden as usual. Definitely one for the diary …
Polite reminder
Finally a small favour to ask … We would be grateful if Members can kindly remember that we agreed to keep food out of the Bridge Room so as to keep the cards and tablecloths as pristine as we can.
This does also apply to nibbles from the bar (especially as some people have nut allergies). It’s easy to forget, so a gentle reminder in the exceptional case that someone is non-compliant is helpful.
Malcolm Bricknell, Bridge Chair
