PLAYING AGAIN FROM FRIDAY DEC 3rd
As of this Friday and all next week bridge sessions at the club will be as per the Programme book, except that all sessions will be open sessions. C points will be awarded, as per usual and Directors will direct according to the roster for 2021. All members will have to scan in at every session using their vaccination passport. Please note that it is the passport which is required for scanning and not the original vaccine record card. While you have already shown your vaccine record card, this will not suffice under the traffic light system which will be in place as of this Friday 3rd December. Prizegiving will again be on Sunday 12th December Starting with bridge at 1.30pm and followed with a nice ‘Christmassy’ afternoon tea, followed by the bar opening and the prizegiving. The 2022 Programme Book will be available for pickup on the day. It will be great to see as many members as possible, so please make the effort to come along. Events and Latest News
