LATEST NEWS
Forthcoming Wilts County Events – on Sundays
Sunday 6 January – "Garden Cities" Team competition
This is an event for Clubs to compete against one another to determine which Wiltshire clubs go through to the next round against other counties.
Several of our members have already volunteered to take part under the captaincy of Sue Phillips.
2 more people are urgently required before the deadline for entry of 20 December
If you are at all interested, please contact Sue or Ray.
We would really like Corsham Bridge Club to be represented at this event.
Non-Expert Pairs – Sunday 20 January 2019
By contrast, this is an event for less accomplished players.
WCBA are keen to promote this event to players that have never, or seldom, been involved in playing at county events.
No-one above NGS Grade 10 is eligible to play. So the standard at this event will be comparable to that at Corsham Bridge Club.
We encourage you to form a pair and enter yourselves for this event.
As always, a very good tea will be provided, for which we have to thank the spouse of one of our own members.
Mixed Pairs – Sunday 20 February 2019
This is usually a popular event, with a reasonable range of standard of play.

Would you like to go on a bridge-playing holiday in sunny Bournemouth ?
The Semington Bridge Club has run many such events and by all accounts they are very much enjoyed.
Semington Club welcomes players from other clubs on these holidays.
The next one is in March 2019 and is pretty good value at £210 per person for 4 days
inclusive of accommodation in a sea-front hotel, breakfast, evening meal and lots of bridge sessions.
Why not form a little party and go along ?
Bookings are being taken now until 20th December

Beginners Lessons 2018-19
A new course of lessons for absolute beginners began on 9 October 2018
Lessons will be held on Tuesday evenings 7.30 to 10.00
Venue – Church House, 3 Church Street, Corsham, SN13 0BY
For more details, click here.
The course was initially fully subscribed but we were able to accommodate more students due to a larger room in Church House becoming available.
Unfortunately, some initial students have had to give up due to other commitments, or poor health.
We cannot accept any more absolute beginners this year,
but we might still be able to take someone who already plays bridge, but would like refreshing on basic ACOL.
Please register your interest for this and/or future courses by email to corshambridgeclub@gmail.com and we will get back to you.
We prefer you to initially contact us by email but if this is not convenient you may phone either Sue (01249 661415) or Ray (01225 810240).
