IN July, members gathered for the AGM, followed by a buffet supper and a short session of bridge.

A new committee was elected, with Jean Underwood as chairman.

The club has had another successful year and members voted to make a donation from funds to the Acorn Hospice childrens' charity.

It was also decided membership, which has been restricted in recent years, could now be opened to accept a limited number of new members, without changing the "small and friendly" nature of the club.

Alcester Bridge Club meets on Friday evenings in Alcester.
