| NICKO 2013 |
 The Ruffians entered our first ever team in the National Inter-Club Knockout. A close match hinged on a few key boards with Leighton Buzzard winning. The Ruffians went on to play in the Plate competition against other first round losers but met very tough opponents - though we again put up a brave resistance with Clare making 3 slams and Barbara and Chrissy successfully stopping the opponents making another one. Many thanks to Karen, Barbara, Chrissy, Clare and Peter for their bold efforts.

| Memorial Bridge Evening |
You are very likely to have played against Joe and Pat Holroyd in the past, and most of us no doubt remember well Joe, a stalwart member of the club, who passed away last year.
Pat is arranging a Memorial Bridge Evening for Joe and Robin Reid, who also died last year, and both of whom were founder members of Morden Ruffians Bridge Club. The event is in support of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, where they both spent their last days in its care.
As this event could be well supported, please could you all let Pat know whether or not you wish to attend, so she can make the necessary arrangements.
It is being held at Steeple Morden Village Hall on Wed 2nd April at 7:30 prompt (our usual club day and time).
Cost is £5 per player. Hope to see you there - please pass the invitation on to any occasional bridge players who might like to join us.
