Weekly Update 10-November-2021
Booking a Bridge Session: Please read!
Please send bookings as below.
Example:
Mon Aft Smith / Jones
Mon Eve Edwards / Jones
- Please make sure only one of the partnership emails the office to book a spot.
- Bookings are only made for the current week. Once a session e.g. Monday evening has played, bookings are then open from Tuesday for the following Monday.
- If you have booked a spot and then find you are unable to attend that session, please let the office know asap as there are pairs on a waiting list. Email: office@chchbridge.co.nz or phone Sue on 0272577466.
The Committee are concerned that some pairs who have booked a session are failing to turn up to play. This denies other pairs on the waiting-list the opportunity to play, creates phantoms and reduces the clubs income. If you are unable to attend a session because of unforeseen circumstances, please show consideration for your fellow players and notify the office as soon as possible. Email: office@chchbridge.co.nz
or phone Sue on 0272577466. Failure to do so may restrict your ability to make bookings.
