The continuing saga of the Bridge Club Carpark
 
Take care of yourself, lookout for others and your property
 
A few weeks back a car belonging to a Plunket staff member was interfered with to the point where it was not capable of being driven - broken window and damaged wiring. We only found out about the problem when Plunket asked whether the Bridge Club cameras in the carpark had recorded the incident.
When the recording was viewed it was a surprise to see how long the culprit was in the carpark and their attitude to those who transited the area while they were present. The culprit had no observed contact with anybody while in the carpark.
 
If you have concerns about your own or others personal safety or property when in the carpark do nothing that impacts upon your safety and promptly vacate the area. Contact whoever is running the session / event, a member of the Club's committee or staff and advise them of your concerns.

The Bridge Club's 2026 AGM is on Sunday 22 November at 2pm

The Quorum for the AGM is 30 financial members so if the meeting doesn't meet that number the Club is unable make any decisions and we will all need to come back again!
