Don't people do amazing things to raise money! Last week I saw
the programme on Eddie Izzard's 43 marathons in 51 days.
Incredible!

A Plan International’s psychosocial games club |
I
won't be running any marathons (!) but I plan to do some fun
bridge and other activities in the coming months for the No
Fear Bridge Plan Haiti appeal (see the JustGiving page for why
I chose this).
Plan's work in Haiti focuses on children
and families. Plan’s immediate focus is on protecting
vulnerable children from trafficking and sexual
exploitation. They have also set up temporary schools in
various regions of Haiti. |
Here's what's coming up to set the ball rolling:
1.
Next Fri 19th March (Fri members only)
Duplicate practice morning. Mixture of Takeout Doubles,
Penalty Doubles and the usual 'practice session' hands.
Normal table money which will all go to the appeal.
I will be raffling some
bridge related prizes, including a free bridge lesson, plus
some bridge books and disks. Additional
donations optional.
2.
No Fear Bridge Poker League (not playing for money!)
 Every Wednesday evening 7.30 - 10.00pm at Leigh's in Byfleet
starting Wed 24th March. All welcome, no previous
experience required as tuition will be given from 7.00-7.30
for anyone who hasn't played before.
Cost £4.00 including refreshments.
Please email
leigh@bridgeplayer.net or phone 01932 344609 to book your
place.
3.
Thursday 15th April 2.00-5.00. Seminar on Slam
Bidding using Roman Keycard Blackwood and Cue Bidding.
Cost £13.00 all proceeds to the appeal.
Full details and booking form.
4.
No Fear Bridge will match all individuals donations to the
Just Giving Page or by cash or cheque in March (up to a total
of £500).
So
it would be great if you can send a donation via the JustGiving page
now. No amount too small! If you wish, it can be done anonymously with neither your name
or the amount showing. Or if you prefer, you can send a
cheque to No Fear Bridge and I will transfer it to the appeal.
You'll find lots more info on the JustGiving page.

The
teaching website suddenly became very busy in February (I
think it was because of prolonged spell of rainy weather!)
causing it to go slow!. It was a
stressful week moving it to a new faster server, but now
everything is running smoothly again.
