From the Club Committee: –
We still expect our members to look after themselves and each other by vaccination, by hand washing and sanitisation, by ventilation of premises, by testing, and where they feel it individually appropriate the wearing of masks.
It looks like the precautions we have to take are the same as they were before Christmas.
We will all need to wear masks during a bridge session and to ensure that we do not help the spread of Covid a test should be taken if you have any symptoms.
We hope that these precautions won’t last forever.
Hello everyone,
It’s that time of year again.
There will be a special fun night for the Christmas bridge session this year on Thursday 23rd December.
It will be a free night and the club will provide mulled wine, mince pies and sausage rolls.
So all members are welcome to come along and have a good evening of fun bridge. There may even be prizes!
Please note that this will be the last club bridge session of this year. Bridge will start again on Tuesday afternoon 4th January 2022.

4. Proposal from Alan Timmis: –
That in memory of our founder and all the good work he did over many years the name of the club be changed to Bassingham Hughes Bridge Club.
Seconded by Peter Philips.
Alan spoke about how Roy Hughes had started giving lessons and then started the club in 2000. He also thought that names on trophies can get forgotten. He said that considering the amount of work Roy had put in over the years his name should be remembered and included in the name of the club.
Tony Tyler on behalf of the committee said that Roy’s main interest was in playing bridge and it wasn’t necessary to change the name of the club. He recommended that the members should vote against this proposal and instead consider one of the options proposed by the committee.
Votes in favour of the proposal were 9 and votes against were 29.
Alternative proposal by the committee: –
A Roy Hughes memorial trophy for the Random seeded teams events or renaming the Charity bridge day each year after Roy Hughes.
The vote was 3 in favour of a trophy for the Random seeded teams event.
And 36 in favour of renaming the bridge day as follows – The Roy Hughes Memorial Charity bridge day.
