| Winter Flu and Covid Season |
 Now that Winter is fast approaching, the committee would be grateful if members would stay away from the club if they have (or are in close contact with someone who has) any cold or flu like symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever).
This is to protect all club members from unnecessary illness.
Thank you!

| Find a Partner Virtual Pinboard |
 We know lots of you are looking for a regular or occasional partners. We also know that the facility in the Calendar pages is not the most “user friendly” thing in the world.
So, we are re-launching the “Find a Partner Pinboard” facility. We think that using the virtual pinboard will be easier for everyone. It has been available before but it was mixed up with the Contact Us form. Now it has its own menu link. You don’t need to login to the website to add a Pinboard request.
We are going to let the two methods run in parallel for a while so if you are looking for a partner, please check both the Pinboard (in the left hand menu) and the Calendar in the right hand column. Or add your own requests of course!
If you need assistance with the process contact patchambridgeclub@gmail.com
