Chairman’s Report
This has gone really well with 22 students some of whom are filtering into evening and afternoon bridge sessions. This tuition is due to end towards the end of June this year.
-
- Monday afternoon bridge is proving to be a success, currently averaging 5 1/2 tables.
- Our latest social bridge event went very well. We raised £120 for Mary Steven’s Hospice and enjoyed some great fish and chips!
- Our duplimator and bridgemates have done sterling service but will eventually need to be replaced. In order to do this the committee are considering ways in which the money could be raised and will put together a proposal to be presented at our AGM.
