mycompasss.com (with 3 s's) has all sorts of interesting information about your bridge playing! Using the Quick Links allows you to see how much money you have left in your table money account. You can also search your name in the Compass NG Listings and see all your club results with graphs tracking your progress. On our website homepage there is a link to mycompasss.com.

It is with heavy heart I have to report the death of Harry Shields which occurred yesterday afternoon.

Harry was a keen bridge player and supported Cambridge Bridge Club for many many years and his company has been enjoyed by us all.

He lead a very active life here in NZ after being born and spending his youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

There were two winning teams for the 2021 Monday teams!

Finishing with the highest result of 84 VPs was Team Moore comprising Ian and Pam Moore and their team mates, Malcolm and Alison Smith from Hamilton Club.  Congratulations to the fabulous 4!

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.
