| BBO connection issue on Monday 2nd February |
Many of you had problems in connecting to Bridge Base Online (BBO) yesterday. BBO experienced a world-wide issue but this is reported to have been addressed and the system should be back (or coming back) online for all of us now. However, we had to cancel our BBO event on Monday 2nd February - apologies for this, but it was beyond our control. Hopefully there will be no further problems and the friendly teams' match on BBO on Wednesday is going ahead as planned.

| Face-to-Face Friendly Teams of Four games at Bognor BC |
|
The Face-to-Face Friendly Teams of Four games at Bognor BC on Friday 16th didn’t quite go according to plan but there was a lot of laughter and good-natured chat around the room. And the tea and scones were delicious!
We’ll be looking to arrange a return fixture if we can find a suitable date.
Please see elsewhere on the CBC Home Page for details of other Teams of Four events.

Rutland & Oakham Bridge Club - BBO 19.00 Wednesday 4 February
and
Frome Bridge Club - BBO 19.00 on Wednesday 4 March
If you'd like to play in these friendly matches, please click on this link to register.
We are looking for anyone and everyone that would like to play. As we try to put together 6 teams (that's 6 teams of 4 people, 24 in total) so this is a great opportunity for many of our Club members to take part.
It doesn't matter whether you are experienced at tournament play, or someone who plays at our Gentle Bridge sessions, or someone somewhere in between, perhaps a regular player but not in tournaments, as you will be matched against players of a similar level to you.
The matches will be short – just 16 boards – so will probably take about 2-2 ½ hours. And all you need to do is to put yourselves forward and be online when the match starts.
