| Message from Club President Noel Bolger |
Dear members, in these altered and challenging times where club bridge indoors is unlikely to restart for some considerable time, it is important for our mental wellbeing to be able to continue to play social/competitive bridge, together, in the Grattan online club. I would ask anyone who hasn’t already applied to play online to do so if at all possible. Miriam’s post to the page, see below, gives you all the information as to how to register etc.
The club would welcome new members and you are asked to recruit bridge players who would like to play with us. We are a “friendly” club more concerned with enjoying the game rather than the competitive side and therefore more attractive to players who may have heretofore played in non-affiliated clubs. If you know anyone in that category you might entice them to join the Grattan.

| New Year |
Dear Members,
We’re into a new year and Miriam and I wish you a brighter future for 2021.
For the foreseeable future online bridge will be the only way to actively play the game we love and keep us reasonably sane in theses pandemic days. Hopefully, but probably not before the end of March, will we be experiencing a brighter outlook for this year and things getting back to normality. However it’s unlikely we’ll be back in the bridge centre before September.
BBO is an excellent forum for playing bridge and afterwards, using the “History” tab you can, and in contact with your partner, examine all the hands you’ve played, including the bidding, and you can see how everyone else bid and played the hands. It is an excellent tool for improvement and endless post-mortems.
Keep at the bridge online and as mentioned before please encourage others to play online. Grattan will welcome other bridge players to play with us online. Just have them contact Miriam (0874110472)
Good Luck with your Bridge.
Noel Bolger
President
