| Relaxed Hosted Duplicate |
The Relaxed Hosted Duplicate gives more time than usual to play each hand than on an average Duplicate evening and is generally less strict. It is run with the explicit intention of encouraging newer players to make that step up from Improvers, No Fear Bridge, etc. Over the last year we have seen quite a few people take up that opportunity. We hope those who have played once or twice will continue to come and that others who have yet to try it out will give it a go.
The next Relaxed Hosted Duplicate is Tuesday 15th November. You can come with or without a partner.

| Reminder about the Conservative Club Car Park |
Spaces numbered 1-16 + Flat should not be used as they are rented out 24/7. Visitors to the club hoping to use the carpark will need to contact either the Club Secretary, Nicola Foster or the Club Chairman Richard Bungey so that someone can operate the barrier for them. You must not use the car park if you are not playing bridge!

| New Improvers on Fridays |
From July 8th Improvers will move to Fridays and the students from Training will be incorporated. We already have several club players helping out with their advancement but we would welcome others coming along too contributing to this very important integration.
