Our piggy bank is not bottomless and unfortunately needs an occasional "top up" - the Club has an expensive building to maintain....

Your subs form a large part of the Clubs income and were due at the end of February. There is rather a high percentage of subs still outstanding so if you fit this category can you please pay......

Thanks

Have you noticed the "shortage" of Open players & Grand Masters around the Club this last week ?
If you did and wondered where were they had gone the simple answer is the Gold Coast in Queensland playing bridge at the week long Gold Coast Congress.

Organising the parking for the first time was Bruce Cresswell who has taken the job over from Nigel G the previous leader of the team running the parking on the day. Bruce started out with the biggest event of the year but had excellent support making the two day event a successful fund raiser.....
