Rineanna Bridge Club

We still have a Pamphlet page, which has a selection of useful Hints and Guidelines. While all Members will get the “Welcome Pack” on joining, I would again ask that all Members familiarise themselves with the Rules - specifically Bidding boxes and Etiquette. You should all re-acquaint yourselves with the responsibilities around scoring Boards, and completing the hand - especially with the replacement of the cards, c/f note above and recent results... Also, the new CBAI information sheet is very important, as it clarifies the requirements for - and differences between - Alerts and Announcements. The Club meets every Wednesday afternoon in Shannon Golf Club, play starting at 2.00. We welcome all visitors at any skill level, and we will always arrange a partner for anybody who wishes to arrive alone. Cost to visitors is a mere €15.00pp. Contact Jimmy on +353 86 8349155 for further details on Non-Member play arrangements. Members can also contact the President (Sheila) on 086-8263878 should you find yourself needing a temporary partner for a session. Note that the T’s & C’s for these arrangements are in the Minutes of the 2014/2015 AGM - c/f Committee Page. You can also register on the WhatsApp page, and just post that you’re looking for a Partner. Every Monday morning at 10am, in the same venue, there are lessons for all from absolute beginners through to those who feel their game needs honing - or indeed some reawakening! We also ‘review’ interesting hands from previous Wednesdays in the “Hands of the Week” page. See the About page for further details on the Club and it’s history. There’s a few new additions (in Red) to the Hands of the Week pages from the Summer that may wake up the old grey matter. All the recent Weekly Results are available for download in the Results Page.

The second Major of 2024 - the Pairs Championship - was held on Wednesday, 3rd. April. And the final Major - the Presidents Prize - will be on the 17th. April. Let’s try to show a bit of pride in our Club, and respect for our President Sheila Forde, with a decent turnout for both. The Presidents Dinner will be on Wednesday, 24th., after a friendly Bridge game. Well done to Kitty & Mary who finished 5th. in the Novice Section at the Congress in Ballykisteen. Proving what I’ve always said - our Members have no idea how bad they’re NOT! Results are now fully Up-to-Date on this website. Membership subscriptions - now €20 - are due for the 2023-2024 Season before end of November. As agreed at the AGM, we will continue allowing the weekly table money subsidise Membership until the end of October.
