FROME Bridge Club raised £1,000 in aid of Ukraine at their charity bridge event evening on Friday 24th June.
The evening was organised by Ray Nicholson and Margaret Donkin.
The club say, “Of course everyone played bridge, but they also had lots of fun and laughs as well as a wonderful tea which was provided by all who came, and it was co-ordinated in some style by Yvonne Kirby, chairman of Frome Bridge Club.
“There was also a raffle, with prizes too numerous to mention, so few people left without something by which to remember the event.
“Whilst the primary aim was to support Ukraine, it would be unfair to report on this without mentioning the winners – joint first, North/South, were Vince Parker and Tim Burnham, and Diane Price and Yvonne Kirby, whilst the winners East/West were Angela Hill and Margaret Carr, with Jack and Jan Smith a close second.
“Wesley Church kindly allowed us to use the venue free of charge. The evening was well attended with 40 people in play. An excellent sum was raised and the club rounded it up to £1,000.”
Frome Bridge Club say they would like to offer their thanks and gratitude to Ray Nicholson and Margaret Donkin for all their thought and hard work in planning and organising this event.
