Click here for the poster and all the information
I hope many of you are planning to come to the annual Bridge Christmas Party. It will be a perfect opportunity to gather with friends and celebrate our wonderful bridge section after a difficult year.
If anyone wishes to attend and doesn’t have a partner, please let me know and I will put together a group so we can make up pairs for the bridge. (julie@juliebacon.plus.com ).
I understand that you are now able to buy your tickets at Reception and you can also book online via the Members’ website. If anyone has particular dietary requirements that we need to cater for, please also contact Felicity Irlam (f.irlam@sky.com ).
Super Social Supervised Session
(Try saying that after a glass or two of wine!)
As a steppingstone for newcomers to Bridge Duplicates we are hosting a ‘super social’ duplicate on Tuesday 14th December, 7pm to which all beginners and social bridge players are welcome. There will be wine, chocolates and members of the committee present to help make this a fun evening.
The session will-
– introduce and give everyone a go at the handheld Bridgemate computer which keeps track
of scores.
– give a quick intro to the way things work in the room on a duplicate session.
– have a few boards to play.
– have several of the bridge committee present to say hello and get to know people.
If you have recently completed a course of lessons or are social bridge players but haven’t yet ventured into a duplicate session do come along and give this a try.
Any questions, please contact Fiona Pollard – our Beginners and Newcomers Bridge Liaison committee member who is keen to get you involved. fiona@datefamily.com
