IT is quite exciting to see many members now returning to the clubhouse to play this great game.

In hindsight our thanks must go to Sally Aldrich and Margaret Rowland who kept the bridge club going during the darkest days of COVID by managing the social distancing with limited numbers permitted to play.

We should also remember Ian Treharne’s contribution to resizing the bridge tables to enable compliance with social distancing.

This ability to keep people using the club has been a key to our ongoing success in managing the COVID years.

During those difficult days quite a few members played duplicate bridge on line and many of those players are now back at the bridge club.

Now our club is back to being able to invite visitors to events and lessons with the knowledge that we are a thriving enthusiastic club where membership is most sought after.
