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.

2020 Heat dates and clubs:

Welcome back to Bridge. It was great to see a keen 12 full tables on Wednesday night and 8 and a half on Thursday. It’s all go. 

Remember that this year Monday morning runs as all other sessions so feel free to turn up to any session with a partner. 

A reminder that Friday mornings are your opportunity to replay boards from previous sessions during the week with support from Doug, Melanie and Ayako. These sessions are friendly and pressure-free and are intended to help those already playing at other regular sessions. 

Your committee is agreed that from 2020 on we will be using Hello Club to handle the annual subscriptions. A Subscription Renewal email has been sent to all members: the half-dozen we cannot reach this way will be receiving a printed invoice.

A lovely evening on Monday started with the AGM. The AGM confirmed your new committee for 2020. The Presidents report is attached if you were unable to be there.
