Good morning to you all

Your committee had a meeting yesterday and the decision has been made to trial reopening

the club for all our regular sessions. Other clubs have continued to play face to face and I

know many of us are missing the social interaction that provides.

This trial will be for a period of four weeks and begins with the Monday am session on

February 14th.

All sessions will move from Real Bridge to the club.

Friday morning practice sessions will recommence next week too with Ayako.

How nice it is that we can enjoy face to face bridge at the club! Our opening night is Wednesday 12th January and to celebrate our return we will provide a glass of wine and cheese & crackers before play. We look forward to a good attendance and an enjoyable evening. A quick reminder of our Covid Rules:

Bob Fearn is hoping for some help  in running another facet of his latest project .. CompassVirtual. The link will take you to a full description of what it does but, in a nutshell, it is a service that anyone organising a RealBridge session open to outsiders may use. CompassVirtual is really a big Compass Club_in_the_sky - with a Compa$$ module attached. With funds in your CompassVirtual account you can play RealBridge anywhere that opts to use this service.

As previously announced the 2022 subscription levies were struck as at 1-January. Invoices have been emailed: if you didn't get one it means there was sufficient in your Compa$$ account to cover the charge. Thank you to all who topped up their account beforehand as recommended. You can view the current state of your Compa$$ account by logging in to mycompasss.com to check your balance and transactions over any date interval.

Thank you to all of you who attended our AGM on Monday night, both in person and on Zoom and to those who sent their apologies.  It was lovely to see you all and congratulations to all the prize winners.

The following motion was resoundingly passed at the meeting and  I quote

A reminder that our AGM and prize-giving is to be held at the club rooms next Monday 6th December with a start time of 7pm.

The AGM is to be held on 6th December 2021 at 7pm on Zoom but the prize giving will be next year – possibly as a “start” to the year.

There are some committee members who are not standing again for the 2022 year.  All members have the right to nominate a member to the committee should they wish to do so.

Subscriptions and table money will remain the same in 2022.

There were 17 tables on Saturday ready to play in the 5th tournament of the Waikato Bays Intermediate League in Te Awamutu. 8 pairs went over from Cambridge and a very enjoyable day was had by all. Te Awamutu provided us with lovely morning and afternoon tea and a pleasant environment to enjoy our bridge.

Irenee Stewart and Leonie Sentch were the winning pair with scores of 54% in the morning and 68% in the afternoon.
