Hello Fellow Bridge Lovers!
We had our first party of the year on Monday 22 January to welcome 2025. There was a good turnout, nice food and company in a convivial atmosphere. More parties to come!
Our table numbers are increasing, and I am pleased to see new players and visitors playing with us, who I know you all make feel welcome.
Some Changes to Play from February
From Monday 3 February, we are introducing a couple of changes which we hope will make for quicker play and movement between rounds.

WHAT’S COMING UP

Christmas in July Party – Wednesday 24 July 4pm
All members are invited to our mid-year Christmas in July Party on Wednesday 24 July after our regular session. This will be fully catered and is another chance to schmooze while enjoying fine finger-food and a drink, also for Monday and Tuesday players. Put the date in your diary and if you don’t usually play on Wednesdays, why not grab a partner and try to play on the 24th?

Our Wednesday numbers are increasing and we have about 10 tables. We can also find you a partner if you don’t have one.

Special Birthday Party - Wednesday 5 June
We have the pleasure to announce that our much admired and talented member, Ruy de Menezes will turn 100 in June. We will celebrate with a party following play on Wednesday 5 June. We will also honour Ruy with life membership of our club.
All members (regardless of playing day) are warmly invited and we look forward to sharing this special milestone with dear Ruy and his family. There will be food and drink refreshments together with cake of course!

Coming up this month:

End of Beginner's Course Pizza Party. We will celebrate the graduation of our beginner's class after the last lesson on Tuesday 16 April. All Tuesday players are also invited to join in the celebration. Have a free drink (soft, beer or wine) along with pizza and a fruit platter. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by completing your name and ticking your drink choice on the form that will be handed around on the next two Tuesdays.

Hello Fellow Slam-makers

We had a wonderful turnout of about 70 members for our Welcome to 2024 Party last week. There was plenty of nice food and good company. Everyone I've spoken to enjoyed themselves. We also had 15 tables playing beforehand, a record since we resumed playing after Covid. Thank you everyone for making it a great day! Please keep coming to play on Wednesdays if you can - even without a party after!
