Please book for the next Sobell weekend which will be held in Thame from April 20-23; the form is on the website under ‘Weekends'

The Sobell Bridge Club

"The Club shall be run for the purpose of raising funds in support of, and promoting awareness of, Michael Sobell House at Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood by organising the playing of social or competitive bridge in any of its forms or by other means at the discretion of the Committee."


RESULTS

This is the new (and only) way to access results. Just click on a date to see the results for all sessions that day.

Car Parking

A new firm has taken over the enforcement of car parking regulations on the whole of the Mount Vernon site (UKPC Ltd). Contravention of any of the rules will result in a £50 enforceable parking ticket.

 At the moment, the car park outside the Michael Sobell Centre is deemed to be “private”  and therefore not part of the UKPC brief.

In addition, they are aware of the yellow event passes we hand out and this arrangement will still stand.

If there are any changes to the above they have agreed to inform us prior to any enforcement action!
