Charity

One of the first clubs to sign up to join the Bridge - It's a Big Deal! Festival was Nettleham Bridge Club in Lincolnshire. Nettleham Bridge Club held a sellout charity day, which attracted a series of articles in the village magazine and donations from local firms. Another Lincolnshire club, Falconer Bridge Club held a very well attended coffee morning on Friday. Below is a round up of the events:
