"I just wanted to send out a message before we all get too caught up in the holiday spirit, this time next week I'll be in Hastings unwrapping presents with the kids!

The quote of the week has returned to the website. Each week, a quote will appear on the home page. Enjoy!

Hi fellow committee members, I have set up a "Committee News" feed - these are blogs that will ONLY be displayed on this page (i.e. they will not appear on the home page (these blogs are tagged as "Committee"). This could be used for reminders or anything that you want to inform the committee about. (Mike, you might want to use this feature)

Yes, Holiday Bridge will run over December and January. The club is trialing a new initiative for ALL holiday bridge. You do not need to arrange a partner. Mike Newton (or substitute) will be available as a ‘reserve’ (spare player). If two players arrive without prearranged partners, they will play together. Holiday Bridge will be face-to-face at the Bridge Club. Click on the heading above for Holiday Bridge dates.

If you weren't able to make it along to the Chirstmas Party on Saturday 7 December, you missed a fantastic day of food, drink, laughter and even some cards played! I've included a very small selection of photos of the day, mostly of committee members except I just had to include one of Ron and his absolutely stunning outfit. A complete selection of photos will be posted to the website in due course. We have Holiday Bridge starting this week on Monday night, Tuesday afternoon and Friday afternoon and all are welcome! So that you have no reason not to attend, we are this summer trialling having a standby player at the club for all our Holiday Bridge sessions. So you can come along without a partner and you will be guaranteed a game! See you at the table! Mike Newton - President
