As this is just before the Public Holiday to recognise the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, we decided it would be great to make a ‘right royal occasion’ of this last Sunday bridge of the year. Thank you Rosemary for directing Sunday Bridge. The afternoon tea was a little more special and you were invited to come along in royal dress. The winner was Pamela James and Sue Hadlington-Hight was highly commended as she had a marmalade sandwich in her handbag.
