Bridge and Games: Supervised Duplicate Play
Bridge and Games: Supervised Duplicate Play

Sadly, our Wednesday evenings play sessions are coming to an end.  Having returned from Brighton we will be playing on 18th August but during September, BRLSI is very heavily booked so the only chance we have to play again is Wednesday 22nd September.  This will be the last playing session before the new beginners class starts on Wednesday evenings so hopefully we will see you all there.  Play starts at 7.00pm and the level of play is 'gentle' which allows our students a chance to practice their new skills with some discussion where necessary.  Table money is £5.00.  For more information, call Christine on 01761 451327 or e-mail christine.macf@btinternet.com.

EBU Summer Congress at Brighton

Our students have returned from The Really Easy Summer Congress at Brighton.  We were there for three days and some great bridge was played.  Our brave Year One students played from Monday to Wednesday and played in their first Swiss Pairs; our improvers played Tuesday to Thursday, and Christine and Margaret played in the midnight 'Speedball'.  We are looking forward to next year's congress already. 

End of Year Party and Reception
End of Year Party and Reception

Our end of year party was held on 7th July.  Our visitors from Aix en Provence and guests from other Bath bridge clubs came to help make this a very festive event.  The buffet was most impressive; many thanks to everyone who contributed towards the refreshments.  A special thank you to everyone who helped lay out the buffet and took care of the boules.

We had 17 tables playing bridge and despite the hot weather, the Pimm's helped cool us all down.  The winners in the Green Section were: Mireille Dany/ Andrew Clark, and Jean Pierre Turquet/ Jean Francoise Dany.  In the Blue Section, our winners were: Maggie Neill/ Sylvia Brown, and Pat and Frank Bell.
