The Office of Lord-Lieutenant, The Queen’s Representative in each county of the United Kingdom, has existed for more than four centuries. Today Lieutenancies reflect a modern world very different from their military origins and provide a ceremonial presence on behalf of the Monarch and also a non-political focus for voluntary and charitable activity. On the Isle of Wight and with the support of his Deputy Lieutenants, Major General Martin White has fulfilled that role since 2006.

CHATTY/FRIENDLY/NO FEARS/RUBBER BRIDGE (Every Tuesday at Seagrove Pavilion from 1.30pm – 4.30pm)We started at the Pavilion in September 2013 and quickly developed as players were struck by being able to play a serious game of bridge but in a friendly and helpful environment. This prompted us to test the water in creating training sessions for those who wished to learn the game and we are now with our 4th class with the other 3 having integrated into our full sessions. You don’t need a partner and beverages and biscuits provided and a great afternoon of bridge for just £2. All newcomers welcome. Average 5 to 8 tables per session. The Seagrove Pavilion is  located at Seagrove Recreation Ground off Seagrove Farm Road, Seaview, PO34 5HL (Follow the signs for Seaview Football Club)
