Hi Everyone

If you haven't got a partner and want to play on a Monday night we now have a new way of finding a partner for you. 

Just email me your details at jsgebert27@gmail.com or text 027 4903010, and I will send an email out to everyone on the Monday night email list. The person who would like to play with you will contact you directly.

Please include your phone number and/or email address.  Unless you state it is for a three night competition, we will assume it is only for the next Monday night.

Congratulations to our class of 24 who graduate into the club on July 1. There are 3 not in this pic who are travelling the world but will return to play.

Huge thanks to our wonderful tutor Bobbi and to the many of you who have come along to support our learners on a Thursday evening.

Let's give them a mighty welcome when they arrive; remember to be encouraging and sparse with your advice 😎

This month we are showing our sponsors appreciation by taking them baking or some other lovely treat.

Willets, our major sponsor, showed how much they liked their baking with this photo on their webpage.

Thanks to you all for supporting our sponsors.
