| Welcome |
 Blewbury Bridge Club plays face-to-face in the village hall's Vale Room at Blewbury Village Hall on Tuesdays (7:30 pm) and has sometimes had a Social Duplicate Bridge evening on Fridays. We also play online on RealBridge on Thursdays (7:00 pm). Please be ready ten minutes beforehand! Visitors are warmly encouraged.
We also run Funbridge sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Please contact the Chairman for further details.
LESSONS: if you know of anyone who'd like to learn bridge, Wantage bridge club will start a beginners' course this autumn! For more information, contact Alan Grunwald at alan.m.grunwald@gmail.com
SOCIAL BRIDGE
I am pleased to report that we are going to try to restart the Friday evening Social Bridge sessions starting on Friday 9th October at 7.30pm. (Please arrive by 7.20pm.) We will play only about 15 boards with no time pressures and the emphasis on a friendly, sociable evening. More experienced players are welcome to offer advice on bidding/play to the less experienced if requested.
As before, I would be grateful if anyone who intends to come to a specific Friday evening could let me know by email to
michael.allen47@btinternet.com
Then, if there are insufficient numbers, we can cancel in advance without having to turn up at the Vale Room needlessly.
If you do not have a partner, do please come anyway and we will try to find one.
Hopefully we will be able to run sessions on Friday evenings on an ongoing basis - I will again email in advance.

| REALBRIDGE WITH WANTAGE BRIDGE CLUB |
Our Thursday online sessions are now on Realbridge every fortnight, alternating with Wantage Bridge Club. Wantage's website will also have the RealBridge log-in link, either here or here. (Effectively, they're joint events.) If you play, we'll need your name and EBU number. Send to Dermot Paddon at djmp99@gmail.com.
If you play in Wantage's sessions, they'll need your details too.

| ONLINE PAYMENTS |
To play in bridge club sessions (either face-to-face or on Realbridge), payments should be made directly to the Club’s bank account. You don't need to pay separately for each session, but can instead pay a lump sum (say £5, £10 or £20 for instance) as credit which will gradually deplete as you play sessions.
Table money will be £1.50 per Thursday RealBridge session and £2.50 per face-to-face session (both Tuesdays and Fridays). Combined payments are no problem.
The club's bank account details are as follows
- Account name : Blewbury Bridge Club
- Sort Code : 40 19 35
- Account number : 21305107
You'll need a reference with the payment that identifies who you are and the purpose of the payment, to distinguish from receipts from other Members or from yourself for other purposes (e.g. subscriptions). In the 'reference' line of your BACS transfer, please enter the following
- First two characters: TM
- Next six characters: Membership number – your EBU number
- Final characters: Your surname (or as many letters at the start of your surname that will fit in the remainder of the bank’s reference)
Please leave spaces between these three pieces of information.
Example: TM 405145 Allen will be the reference for me.
If making transfers from the same bank account to cover more than one member, please make separate transfers with each member's number reference and surname.
If anyone can't use this payment method, please contact the Chairman and we'll make alternative arrangements.
