• Your Director is there to ensure the smooth running and your enjoyment of the session of Bridge you are attending. Please follow the EBU Best Behaviour Rules and help your Director all you can.

• Please call the Director whenever something goes wrong. DO NOT TRY TO RESOLVE YOURSELVES

• If you play regularly with the same Partner you should have a Convention Card available for your opponents to view and for the Director to refer to if called to your Table. Failure to have a convention card may cause the Director to Rule against you.

• Please avoid Slow Play. Do try to keep pace with the Tables around you. Failure to do so may result in boards being removed.

• The Introduction of Table Etiquette Cards has been well received by Members. These serve to remind players of the behaviour expected at all times and key rules to follow in the play. 

There have been occasions when members have arrived late causing the planned movement to be suspended and a new one started.  This results in delays whilst Tablets are reset and a new programme installed. 

Please aim to arrive NO LATER THAN  6.45pm so that the Director has at least 10 minutes to set up the movement, distribute the boards and make any announcements so that WE CAN START PROMPTLY AT 7pm.

If you have been unavoidably delayed please telephone one of the Committee or your partner to let them know you are on your way. This will allow the Tablets to be set up and for the event to START ON TIME.  

If you arrive late and play has already commenced or the Tablets have been set and play is about to start, then the Director may NOT allow you to play.

Thank you. 

Roger Markwick    Hon Secretary
