WhatsApp Matchmaking Group We are starting a WhatsApp group for those looking for partners either casually or permanently.
Other Bridge clubs have such a service which works well where members can post requests for a partner and those interested can respond directly on WhatsApp. You will need to have a WhatsApp account to participate and membership is of course entirely voluntary. Nick will be sending an invitation by SMS and/or email to all members who have provided a mobile number. If you wish to join, you simply click on the link in the invitation and follow the instructions and you will become a member of the group. If you are not interested, simply ignore the invitation. We hope many members will use this quick and simple platform when they need a partner. Please note: This platform is to be used strictly to find a partner. It is not to be used to post any other material. Theo will still be available as matchmaker for those not using the WhatsApp Matchmaking Group.

We continue to encourage a friendly, welcoming and courteous atmosphere in our club and look forward to seeing you at our regular sessions and upcoming events. I look forward to seeing you at the bridge table and events after my return in May.
