| SUMMER REFRESHERS |
Just a reminder of the times and dates for the summer refreshers. These will all be held at The Rothley Centre starting at 10am.
Year 1 will do supervised play of set hands covering themes from the year's lessons; Year 2&3 will combine and play a duplicate bridge session.
The Year 1 session will finish around 12.00 and the Years 2&3 combined session will finish at around 12.20.
The dates are:
29 April, 13 May, 3, 10 and 24 June, 8 and 22 July, 5 and 19 Aug.
There's no need to pre-book, just turn up on the day. You don't need a partner, as solo players will be paired up. The cost is £3 per head to cover room hire for the two rooms – it helps if you arrive with the correct change  .

| CHARNWOOD BRIDGE TEACHERS - CONSTITUTION |
We have grown significantly (and beyond our initial expectation!) from the small class we started in Autumn 2019 to well over 100 Teachers, Buddies and students.
As a result, we recently decided to codify CBT's aims, management and structure. We now have a formal Constitution (click anywhere in this note to download a copy).
CBT's Committee comprises all six teachers, and the Officers are Chairman (Stuart), Treasurer (Gail) and Secretary (Richard).
All students are members of the Club and by virtue of membership, are treated as having accepted this Constitution. They most relevant segment for student members is:
OBJECTS
........
3. To provide and maintain an enjoyable and friendly atmosphere in which to learn.
4. To promote and uphold the game’s etiquette so that the learning experience remains enjoyable for everyone.
By paying their term fees, student members automatically agree to abide by the Constitution and the aims of CBT, in particular objects 3. and 4. above, and accept they too have a vital role in helping the Club to achieve these aims.
