The most important date for the Club ...

Annual General Meeting

Friday, 11th April

to take place straight after the Friday afternoon bridge session, so stay and have a glass of wine as there are many changes afoot for our club and important decisions to be made.

We need a quorum to make these changes so it is really important that as many members as possible attend.

This is your club so you should have an interest in what is happening.

There are two vacancies on the committee and they need to be filled. This is a great opportunity for you to give back something to the club.

Nomination sheets are pinned to the noticeboard so please think seriously about joining the committee and if you wish, speak to any of the committee members to find out what is involved.

♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

Each month during 2025 we will be highlighting a rule to ensure SLBC always plays to the highest standard

DID YOU KNOW....

When you are on lead, make your lead face-down in case your partner or opposition wish to ask a question.

It is good practice to make a lead before putting your bidding cards away.
