Members and visitors will be aware of all the various advice regarding swine flu prevention. An antiseptic and anti-viral dispenser has been fitted by the main noticeboard just before the entry to the tables. Members and visitors are encouraged to use this automatic dispenser prior to sitting down at the bridge tables.
Teams Training
The Club Captain has a group which meets on a Thursday morning at 10am to discuss the hands played the previous Tuesday evening and will be looking at ways of improving bidding, play and defence. Sometimes this will be through group discussion and sometimes an expert will come along to lead the discussion. This group is suitable for all members who wish to improve.
