Welcome Back – Sunday 11th September

The Board is delighted to invite you to an event at the club’s premises to welcome you back after the pandemic and the closure of the club.

A light buffet will be provided and there will be some friendly bridge in the form of a mini  tournament.  You will also have the opportunity to catch up with some bridge friends that you may not have seen since the start of the pandemic in 2020!  What is there not to like?

We have made some changes since pre pandemic days, so if you haven’t been in the club for a while, you will notice that some things are just a little bit different.

COVID

We are still mindful of COVID so all tables now have wipe down covers, and you will find hand sanitizers, tissues, and a wee bin at each table.

PRE-BOOKING

We have had an online booking system in place for some time now and this has proved popular with members.  We would ask that you pre-book for this event so that we know the numbers for catering.

To help us with our numbers for catering, please sign up before midnight on Friday 9th September.

Pre-booking is really as easy as 1….2…. 3!

  1. Go to the club’s website and click on “SignUp”.
  2. Enter the password “transfer” and then VIEW the session you are interested in. Click on SIGN UP.
