SUMMARY:Bridge
DESCRIPTION:The Bridge group has a potential of twelve members but the usual attendance is eight. Members range from those with significant experience of playing bridge (but who have lapsed) through those with experience in card games other than bridge – to complete beginners. Players usually progress quickly\, becoming comfortable with counting points\, basic bidding to agree contracts\, and play to make\, or defeat\, contracts \nThe intention is to move on at an agreed pace – but this is very much enjoyable social bridge\, not ‘hard-nosed’ competition stuff. \nDetails\n\nSessions are held fortnightly on alternate Thursdays\nUsually between 2.00pm – 4.00pm.\nMeetings taking in place by rota in members’ houses.\nMembers make a one-off payment of £2.00 to buy cards and score pads.\n\nContact\nRoger Wingrove  via “Contact” on this website

SUMMARY:Chichester Theatre Visit - A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. \nArtistic Director Justin Audibert follows Hamlet and his hugely popular Festival Theatre production of Redlands\, turning from the rock ‘n’ roll of the 1960s to the Sussex raves of the 1990s for this riotously entertaining new production\, co-directed with CFT’s Associate Director Hannah Joss (Choir). \nKicking back against the rules imposed by their stuffy elders\, four spirited young lovers take off to a forest thronged with mischievous creatures who march to a different beat. \nBut the king and queen of the fairies are at loggerheads\, and psychedelic potions create startling transformations. For a bunch of budding actors\, staging a play proves more of a headache than they bargained for. As traditional values go head to head with hedonism and freedom\, amidst a whirl of conflicting desires\, how will this madcap night of revels end? \nComedian and satirist Munya Chawawa makes his theatrical debut as Bottom. \nJemima Rooper (The Norman Conquests CFT\, One Man Two Guvnors\, Geek Girl) plays Titania. \nFor more details contact Kay Corke via Contact on this website

SUMMARY:Bridge
DESCRIPTION:The Bridge group has a potential of twelve members but the usual attendance is eight. Members range from those with significant experience of playing bridge (but who have lapsed) through those with experience in card games other than bridge – to complete beginners. Players usually progress quickly\, becoming comfortable with counting points\, basic bidding to agree contracts\, and play to make\, or defeat\, contracts \nThe intention is to move on at an agreed pace – but this is very much enjoyable social bridge\, not ‘hard-nosed’ competition stuff. \nDetails\n\nSessions are held fortnightly on alternate Thursdays\nUsually between 2.00pm – 4.00pm.\nMeetings taking in place by rota in members’ houses.\nMembers make a one-off payment of £2.00 to buy cards and score pads.\n\nContact\nRoger Wingrove  via “Contact” on this website
