A charity event was held on 10th May in support of the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Ten pairs enjoyed a day of duplicate bridge along with a delicious lunch.  A total of £500 was raised for the charity thanks to the generosity of those attending and all who bought raffle tickets.

The Wragg Trophy was presented to the winners Christine Parker and Pat Jones (63.4%) by Joan Wragg. Runners-up were Margaret Johnson and Pat Powell (60.1%).

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of covid, or indeed, any other respiratory infection please do not attend the club until you have recovered. 

It is now no longer a legal requirement to self-isolate if you have covid symptoms, test positive, or are a close contact of a positive case, regardless of vaccination status. Instead, you are advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people. After 5 days, complete a lateral flow test on 2 consecutive days and check that these are negative, before returning to your normal routine.

There is no mandatory requirement to wear face coverings at Sheffield Bridge Club. Individual members should follow their own preference and make their own decision whether to attend the club bearing this in mind. However, we would ask that, should any player at a table request that masks be worn, the request should be viewed sympathetically.

Windows will be open to improve ventilation within the building with additional ventilation being provided by air purifiers which also kill virus particles.

Whilst the club has now re-opened, there is still opportunity to play bridge online as an alternative to (or hopefully in addition to) playing face-to-face at the bridge club.
