Thanks to our wonderful committee's ingenuity, 2 groups of 5 tables (i.e. 20 pairs in total) are now available for bridge games on Wednesdays —while still adhering to COVID-19 requirements. Single bridge tables have been enlarged to meet the current 1.5m social distancing requirement yet seat 4 players comfortably.

Library borrowing and egg sales are now available on Wednesdays (not Thursdays) as follows:

• Sylvia will be available for book, puzzle and/or DVD borrowing from 1pm

Yes! Although our club bridge games have been on hold during COVID-19 shutdowns, we are happy to announce that some of our members have received ABF promotions.

The COVID19 -regulated trial bridge game held on Wednesday 14 October 2020 was successful - enough to announce games have increased to two/week. Thanks go to both organisers and attendees.

Great news - we're trialling a return to club games next Wednesday! Play begins at 1pm.

Before you register to play, please read all of the information below. It is very important that we adhere to all of the COVID-19 regulations.

There will be only 5 tables (to play a 5 board Mitchell movement of 5 boards/round).

Copies of the 2019-2020 audited Annual Financial Statement (link) are also currently available to members in the kitchen area of the clubhouse - which will be open as usual on Thursdays between 10:00am and 11:00am.
