| Brian Sallows |
We are very sorry to report that Brian Sallows passed away in hospital last Saturday 23 November. Brian worked tirelessly both promoting Bridge in the Bedford area and raising substantial funds for various charities. With Yvonne Blain he ran the Wednesday evening club and for many years he was a keen supporter of the Friday morning sessions. He supported both Bedford Bridge Club as well as No Fear Club.
He will be missed by all who knew him.

| Cancellation of Sunday Bridge at Biddenham Village Hall |
Due to a poor response we have unfortunately decided that it is not viable to continue with Sunday Bridge sessions. We need to have at least four tables to cover costs and this has not been possible to achieve.

| Bridge Venues and Session Times |
Our sessions are:
- Wednesday night at St Marks Church, weekly from19:00-22:00
- Thursday morning at Church Lane Community Centre, weekly 10:00-13:00
- Friday morning at St Marks Church, weekly from 10:00-13:00
- Friday afternoon at Biddenham Village Hall, weekly 14:30-17:30
Subs will be £2 for each session (£3 for non-members).
Please note that the Friday afternoon and Sunday evening sessions will now be held in the Village Hall (MK40 4BJ).
The Thursday and Friday afternoon sessions are ‘hosted’, so anyone turning up is ‘guaranteed’ a game. If you’d like to play at the other sessions, or play with a regular partner, please ask Peter (Wed evening), Sue/Peter (Thursday morning), David (Friday morning), Bernard (Friday afternoon) and Bernard/Peter (Sunday evening) and they will try and match-make.
We will be providing tea, coffee and sealed packets of biscuits. If you wish to have tea or coffee, please bring your own mug with you and take it home to wash it up.

| Bridge Sessions at St. Marks - Refreshments |
Friday Morning
- Attendees must sign in and out. This is a LA rule as there are pre school children here and they are in a school bubble.
- Coffee/tea/milk and individual wrapped biscuits will be provided. Hot water is available from the kitchen
- St Marks mugs may be used but must be left in the dishwasher
- Church hall must be cleared and everything tidy or in the cupboard.
Wednesday Evening
- Coffee/Tea/milk and biscuits (individually wrapped of course) will be provided but you must bring your own mug. The St.Marks ones are not to be used under any circumstances as they are all cleaned by the church dishwasher and we have been told not to use them. The church kitchen will provide hot water from the urn (not the kettle).
- The kitchen must be left tidy with any spillages cleared up.
- It would be helpful if we could have a couple of regular player volunteers who are happy to bring the drinks, milk and biscuits. They will be refunded on the night from the table money and they do need to provide a bill as all our expenditure is accounted by an external auditor.
If you are willing to do this task please let me or Peter Cullum (p_cullum@btinternet.com) know. Ideally we would like one or two people to cover this. A team rota gets too confusing.
