Sadly Auckland is now in Level 3 lockdown with us being in Level 2 until Wednesday midnight.

NZ bridge advisory says that at Level 2 we are okay to operate with added safety conditions.

Bring a mask if you wish to wear one and there will be hand sanitizer available. The kitchen will be closed so bring your own drink bottle. We are unable to social distance at Bridge.

MonDAY session has been cancelled at this time but the other sessions will run this week including Monday night. Things may change so keep an eye on the website.

As the flurry over subs comes to an end we aim to settle into a pattern of weekend updates of your Compa$$ account where we record table-money ins and outs. The last step of that process is refreshing the mycompasss.com website where members can check their transactions and balances for both the current and the preceding months. To do this you'll need to create a login that will allow you to access your own account only. If there's anything you need to comment on you can email both Kevin and Michael from that screen.

... just kidding folks - it's in good hands and well under control. We're looking good with most accounts tanked up ready for 2021. There are a couple of dozen subs still to come in - a reminder that payment is requested by the end of January, please. We are pleased to make a MAJOR MAJOR Announcement here ...

To all those who are not at the beach.... Come along tomorrow night Wednesday 13 January for a night of bridge. It is a Drawn Pairs event so just come along and you will be paired with a partner for the night.

Congratulations to these members who have become Intermediate Players for 2021:

The Thames summer festival was held over the weekend with  very good representation from Cambridge members.

Local participants were Eunice and Malcom, Kay, Irene and Don McPherson, Clare and Kevin, Michael, Kate and Gwyn, Anna, Ian and Lynette, Judith Howard and Lesley Quilty. 

 Michael, who played in a composite team has some success in the final result. Well done .

Welcome to the 2021 bridge year, may it be ever so uninterrupted. Kevin, Vicki, and Michael have been busy ensuring everything is ok with your Compa$$ accounts after the levying of subscriptions for 2021. All members, except those exempt or those who had already paid, should have received a subs invoice in the last week of December. This was followed by a statement of each member's Compa$$ account as at 2-Jan. Allowing that this is a new process - certainly new to our club in the wake of our time with HelloClub - we think it has gone extremely well.

Our 2020 AGM and prizegiving, followed by desert, was a lovely evening. 

A complimentary glass of bubbles or juice with chocolate strawberries, started the evening.

A change of format for us this year.

The AGM and Prizegiving will be on the 7th December at the new time of 7pm.

When you arrive you will be given a complimentary glass of bubbles or juice. We will then have the AGM and short prizegiving( due to Covid.)

After this, dessert and a hot drink will be served and a chance to mingle and mix.

The cost for the evening is $10. We need numbers for catering so please put your name on the clip board at the club room if you can come. Partners welcome.

Hope to see you there.

Christmas bridge begins this Wednesday!
