Only two days to go until the next event in the first Wight Games Festival.
Bridge is one of those card games that really gets people hooked and the Island Bridge Club are hoping to tap into that fascination by getting players of the game to join in a WGF duplicate bridge competition on Friday at the George Street Centre, George Street, in Ryde.
But it won't all be about the cards. During the afternoon they will be having a break for tea/coffee and a yummy
scone or cake!
Find out more about this event at the website https://www.wightgames.co.uk/ and to donate to the three amazing Island charities that the festival is supporting, go to https://sponsorme.charitiestrust.org/event/80585b37-8e3f-4a1a-b1d8-70389e278281

What did the Romans ever do for us? Well, one little known gift they left us was the concept of board games.
@bradingromanvilla is “Caesar-ing” the opportunity to become part of the Wight Games Festival by holding two Roman Board Games days at the Villa at Morton near Brading on July 23 and 30 from 1.30pm to 3.30 pm…although why not make a day of it at the historic villa?
Among the challenges will be Rota, an enigmatic board game from the Roman Empire, first introduced to the modern world in 1916 by Elmer Truesdell Merrill.
As befits a Roman event, the winners will receive wreaths, public honour and certificates.

If you love racquet sports but find tennis, squash or badminton is too strenuous, then you have probably discovered the joy of pickleball.
It was invented 60 years ago as a backyard children’s game in the USA but has gone from strength to strength since then and is now a worldwide phenomenon.
As part of the Wight Games Festival, West Wight Sports & Community Centre is putting on a day-long competition on Sunday, July 5th, from 11.30pm to 4.30pm.
If you are a seasoned player or just fancy giving it a go, find out more at https://www.wightgames.co.uk/.
