Members will have received an email today recommending we all get used to playing on-line at BBO (BridgeBase Online). Additional full instruction on what it's all about can be found on the Ashburton website .. thanks to Mary Buckland and others.

A fun series with 10 teams taking part, including two teams from our neighbouring clubs.

The winners though were a Cambridge team the Queens! Well done to them. Great dressing up too!

This afternoon saw the annual Fairlands battle contested between Te Awamutu and Cambridge. The new Club Captain for Te Awamutu, Debz Morris, had done a grand job of rounding up the troops. With 10 pairs from each club in a tournament that has been running since 1988, tensions were high. Actually the mood was most convivial and our visitors were just lovely to play against. 

Its time for our annual fun bridge in the gardens. We are very fortunate to be going to Sue Aitkens again for another fabulous afternoon of bridge. A beautiful venue with mature trees for shade. 248B Tauwhare road

Monday night teams are coming up soon!  As the year is 2020 The Theme for the series is The Past 20 years. The clipboard for you to enter your team is at the front of the club. Pre entry is required by the 26th February. Join in the fun!

Wednesday night teams take place in May. The theme for these is The Future 20 years.  Use your imagination.

For the next two weeks Di Emms is away and Anne Blewden will sub for her as Monday partnership steward. Di returns on the 12th February and will be back ready for the Monday 17th February.

For the next two weeks please contact Anne if you need help. The Monday night sheets will continue to go out next Monday and please fill out and return to the club so that we know who may be available. If you would like a partner for particular evenings please put it on your sheet.

Thank you.

If you can, please volunteer to be a Wednesday night host. 

Its a great way that you can help your club run smoothly.

If you play, you have a free nights bridge, as you pay no table money.

The clipboard with the schedule is up the front of the clubrooms ready to be filled in.

Thank you.

It was very special to be able to share with long time member Marie Wilson her 90th birthday on Thursday afternoon.
