Hi BBC players,

As you know, the Beaconsfield Bridge Club has been under new management for five months now.

In November, we outlined some exciting ideas for the club, and are delighted to say that many of them have already been realised, with more in the pipeline - you are really helping us to establish BBC as one of the best bridge clubs around - thank you :-)   

Some of the things achieved to date in the club include:

	32 registered members - we're aiming for 40 by June
	New equipment (boards, bidding boxes, table covers, cards, stationery, etc.)
	A duplimate machine, enabling pre-dealt hands, with printed score-sheets and best bidding on hands – great for helping to improve your play
	BBC Committee established (chairman, treasurer, secretary, and two club members), with quarterly meetings
	Three qualified bridge directors from our club members, to ensure the smooth running of the sessions and a happy playing experience for all players
	Regular adverts in the local papers, the parish magazine, and flyers in a number of local libraries

	April - club affiliation to the EBU – so that master points can be awarded
	April - establish a weekly rota of club directors
	More promotional activities to get the BBC better known
	Further enhancements to your BBC website (www.beaconsfieldbridgeclub.co.uk) for scores, news, links to find, learn and do bridge, etc.
	Establish BBC tournaments, with trophies
	Club individual and team participation in various competitions

We need your support to keep developing your club – growing our membership, making BBC a great place to play bridge, meet your friends, and have some fun.

Let us know what you think - please email jdowniebr@yahoo.co.uk or chat to us on a Friday evening.
