Our Thursday afternoon sessions have resumed.
The Winter season is coming to a close, but the Summer season is all planned out and
we look forward to seeing friends old and new.

| Bridge Library |
 The Club has available a quantity of Bernard MacGee DVD's on most aspects of playing Bridge (strangely enough doesn't seem to cover my system).
They are on top of the cabinets at the entrance to Nairn Bowling Club and are free to borrow, but a donation to the Marie Curie Cancer charity would seem appropriate.
A collection jar will be made available. Please enjoy and return for others to benefit from. This has been made available to us by the generosity of John & Paula Wilson of Strathspey Bridge Club.
