West Wales Bridge Association Treasurer Vacancy

This is another plea for somebody to volunteer their services as Treasurer for the West Wales Bridge Association. We pride ourselves on providing as good a service as possible for our bridge playing community, all of us having volunteered for the Committee because of wanting to give a little bit back for the organisation of so many pleasant and well-run events over the years. Bob Alderdice has contributed more than almost anybody though, over many years in various roles, and we should be really grateful to him. Since May 2021 he has served as Treasurer in a so-called 'temporary' capacity pending the appointment of our next one, and that has never happened despite many enquiries. Click for a copy of his 2023-24 accounts recently approved at the AGM, to show that these are not especially complex. I do hope somebody amongst you - or even a friend who doesn’t necessarily take part in our competitions - can volunteer for the role. There’s no special reward except for a small honorarium and of course a group of friendly colleagues on the committee plus a role in our decisions, which we hope might be enough to persuade you. Since the discovery of Zoom, we don't have to travel for our meetings any more which is a blessing. Please email the WWBA secretary Peter Milewski to discuss further. wwba.sec.pjm@gmail.com

Perry, Spickett and President's Cup July 2024

This year it is the turn of the West Wales Bridge Association to host the event which will be held at the Halliwell Centre, Carmarthen, on the weekend of 13th-14th July.

Teams of six from each area will be competing against each other in each event. Area associations will be subsidising their players.

Applications are invited from pairs belonging to the WWBA who would like to form part of our team, by 10th March please.

The committee will be picking the teams at their next meeting which is on 15th March.

Secretary, West Wales Bridge Association.
