 I didn't want to leave it long before saying thank you so......I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for their generosity in helping me to celebrate my 40th Birthday. I have kept pinching myself to make sure that this week has been real! I cannot tell you how touched I have been with all the gifts and special things that you have all done. I have been overwhelmed and cannot believe how lucky I am to be part of such a special group of people!! You all make the bridge club, seminars and teaching so wonderful and I am SO lucky to have such a lovely job : Turning 40 has been more exciting than ever....I'm happy to step up to 50 next year!! I hope that you all know how much it has all meant and I look forward to seeing you all soon (probably without champagne and cake!!)

| March Seminars |
The seminars in March are covering Hand Evaluation. This involves not only using point count and the losing trick count, but more importantly being able to highlight whether your high card points and short suits are working well for your side.
The two dates that this seminar are being held are
Tuesday 8th March - Mursley Village Hall
Monday 14th March - Little Horwood Recreation Village Hall
Both are from 7.30pm till 9.30pm.
If you would like to attend and haven't received the link to log in, then please email abbeybridgelessons@hotmail.co.uk
