February Update Calendar of Events 2012
The County’s Charity Pairs had the best participation for a decade. As a result both of the Charities nominated by Cathy and Evelyn will receive £550.
On Wednesday February 8 we are playing the County’s Senior Simultaneous Pairs. The cost is £2.50 plus a voucher. To participate in the event you must be at least 55, however others may play ‘without status’.
On Monday February 27 we will play the EBU free simultaneous pairs at 1.45, cost a voucher.
On Thursday 8 March we will play the Charity Challenge Simultaneous Pairs in aid of the Prostrate Cancer Charity. Cost Members £4 Visitors £5.
On Wednesday March 14 we will play the EBU Stratified Simultaneous Pairs at a cost of a voucher.
Our AGM will be on Tuesday April 24 at 6.30 which will be followed by bridge.
A date for your diary our annual visit to Barnsgate is on Sunday June 10.
Patcham is very lucky that on Wednesday they have a number of directors who once a month are willing not to play. However once a month we need a member on standby. This will mean they will have 50% chance of a game. As you are only going to be asked to perform this duty once in five years your committee consider that it is reasonable that if you need to stay for a lift you will be happy to spectate on that one occasion.
**Please** check the notice board to see when you are the designated stand by.   pdf

EBU News
Patcham Bridge Club has to decide whether to affiliate to the EBU when they introduce Pay to Play in April 2010.
Having considered all the issues your Committee believe that the Club should be a member of the National and County organisations and recommend that we affiliate to the EBU.
As the Club is successful we are able to enjoy the benefits of affiliation without increasing table money. This means it will not cost individual members more money for the club to affiliate. In fact those who are currently members of the EBU will save their annual membership fee.
Attached to this notice are the following documents:-
   -  Letter from the EBU Chairman (PBC member)         pdf
   -  What is EBU document        pdf
   -  Benefits for EBU Clubs        pdf
   -  Benefits for Individual EBU Members        pdf
   -  Club Terms of Affiliation        pdf

If you have a view regarding your Committees recommendation please let your Committee Members know.
