Your Table Money

The section of the website at www.mycompasss.com that reflects members' Compa$$ table money accounts has been brought up to date. Low-balance alerts have gone out to a few members. One or two deposits were still to be recorded at time of updating so please disregard any notice you may have got if you have made a payment this week.

Anna Kalma Elected to The Board

AKCongratulations to "our" Anna Kalma (now very honorary affiliate member of Cambridge), and Karen Martelletti - both of our region - who, along with Sam Coutts of Dunedin and John Skipper of Christchurch have been elected to the Board of NZ Bridge. It was re-election in the case of Karen and John who are current members.

Harry Shields

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.

mycompasss.com Updated

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.

Thames summer festival

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 .

 

Compa$$ Subs Go Out

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.

AGM, Prizegiving and Dessert.

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.
