| Donation to Teenage Cancer Trust |
After all your contributions, the bridge drive and raffle raised £600.
Over the past year, one of our dear members has had to watch her grandson deal with cancer, and so, at last Friday’s bridge drive we raised money for Teenage Cancer Trust. Every single day, seven young people will be diagnosed with cancer. The Teenage Cancer Trust can fund specialist nurses and youth workers to be there for a young person during the toughest times they’ve ever faced. This life changing work relies on donations from the public.
The £600 will be donated in full to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Many thanks to all those who participated in the bridge drive and who helped raise money.

| EDLT&CC — BRIDGE SECTION |
 The East Dorset Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – founded in 1909 – is set in a secluded five-acre site close to Poole Harbour and the renowned Sandbanks peninsula. It has a reputation for being one of the largest and friendliest clubs in the area and is solely managed by its members.
The EDLT&CC Bridge Section is equally renowned for its tea breaks! We believe that this has created an atmosphere, unique in the area, where members come to enjoy playing bridge together.
Non-members may visit the Club up to four times a year on Monday evenings or Friday afternoons and are welcome to attend any of the Bridge courses.
The Club plays Chicago and Duplicate Bridge:
- Monday evening is for Soft Duplicate (hosts are available) - 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start - £2 table money, £3 for non-members
- Tuesday afternoon, for improvers, is Chicago - 2pm onwards - £1 table money, £2 for non-members
- Wednesday evening is Duplicate for pre-arranged partnerships, £2 table money - 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start.
- Friday afternoon 2pm onwards, is cut-in Chicago but with an emphasis on tuition where players are encouraged to ask for help and guidance with their bidding and card play - £1 table money, £2 for non-members.
