Biggar Bridge Club will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Sunday, 16^th March at 2.00pm.

There will be some hands of bridge after the meeting and an opportunity of going to the Elphinstone Hotel for supper for those who would like to. We would be grateful if you could let us know whether you will be able to join us by signing up on the sheet at the club.

We very much look forward to seeing you there.

We were saddened to hear and report the passing of one of our members - Pam Norris.

Pam was a North of England lass and a former Maths teacher. Some time ago she and her husband Derek moved to Biggar from Bridge of Weir to be near to their son and his family at West Linton. Sadly, Derek died eight years ago. Pam had already joined the Bridge Club, becoming a long term supportive member. She formed a formidable partnership with Eleanor Weir and recently Monday afternoons became a regular Bridge event. She was a homely, unassuming person, enjoying cooking and gardening. She was also a crossword fiend and played Mahjong. Her home was full of books, an avid reader. As a former tennis player, she loved following tennis and many more sporting fixtures on the TV. Never idle but sadly missed!

As we are now in the winter months, will everyone think about how easy it is to spread flu etc in the confined space of the club room. It is too easy to think you are ok and it is just a tickle or a little cold. These minor symptoms may result in a fellow member contracting something which develops into something serious. If in doubt, please don’t come in and potentially risk the health of others. 

There are sessions on Mondays at 1:30pm, Tuesdays at 2pm and Wednesday evenings at 7pm. If you intend playing on Monday, please contact Norma Perry on 07732557096, Tuesday afternoon, please contact Cathy Cursiter on 07534 218010 or  catherine306@hotmail.com. . If you intend playing on a Wednesday evening, please contact Yvette Johnson on yvettejohnson311@gmail.com. For any session, please contact Norma, Cathy or Yvette as appropriate, NOT later than the day previous. For ANY session, please make sure that you arrive NOT later than 10 minutes before the advertised start time.
