Painting

Update - start date delayed

Please be aware that - weather permitting - the repainting of the exterior of our building will now be starting on Thursday 23rd July.  Some disruption to normal operations can be expected while this work is undertaken: please bear with us and the contractor, AR Painters Ltd.

The repainting of the building every 10 years is a requirement of our lease.  

Thanks are due to Rae Lutman for obtaining a grant of over $10,000 from Pub Charity to cover the cost of this work and also repairs to the window sealing which will be undertaken separately on 12th August.

Message from Kaibosh CEO

We recently received the following message from Susie Robertson, the Chief Executive of Kaibosh:

Kia ora Rae and the Waikanae Bridge Club

Reaching out to personally say thank you for your recent generous donation to Kaibosh.

It means the world to me when local clubs like your recognise the hard work that the Kaibosh team are doing in our community.

We really appreciate the support - a significant donation like this will be put to good use - hopefully to help us purchase a our very own truck up in Kāpiti!!

Thanks and keep up the great community spirit you obviously have!

Susie

I've passed this messge on to Bob Jennings (President, Paraparaumu), because of course this was very much a joint effort from both clubs.

Online Bridge Exercises

A member recently told me about free online ACOL bridge exercises she finds both accessible and interesting. The page is called "Learn Modern Bridge" and is presented by Dominic Rayner. 

If you're interested, the page can be found here.  Dominic also runs a website at https://www.allthingsbridge.co.uk.

Charity Tournament

I'm delighted to be able to announce that as a result of last Sunday's Charity Tournament
the Waikanae and Paraparaumu Bridge Clubs will be making a donation to Kaibosh of $2,000 (including an anonymous private donation of $200).

This is a great result - thank you to everyone from both clubs who supported the event.
