| REALBRIDGE WITH WANTAGE BRIDGE CLUB |
Blewbury Bridge Club online sessions are now on Realbridge every fortnight, alternating with Wantage Bridge Club, who kindly invite us to join them on those nights. Wantage's website will have the RealBridge log-in link, either here or here. (Effectively, they're joint events.) We'll need the name and EBU number of anyone who wants to play. Send to Dermot Paddon at djmp99@gmail.com. For payment details, see panel below.
If you want to play in Wantage's sessions, they'll need your details too. If in doubt, contact the Blewbury Chairman.
Wantage upcoming sessions on Realbridge: October 3rd, 17th and 31st., November 14th and 28th.
Blewbury upcoming sessions on Realbridge: October 10th and 24th., November 7th, and 21st.

| ONLINE PAYMENTS |
For Blewbury Bridge Club sessions (both face-to-face and 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 a 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. We'll monitor funds received against sessions paid regularly.
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.
