Tuesday Afternoon is a duplicate pairs session. We aim to start play at 13.30, so please arrive a few minutes before so that the TD can count the tables, choose and initiate a suitable movement. We don't start a new round after 16.15, so the session generally finishes around 16.30. The event takes place on all Tuesdays EXCEPT for a two week break around Christmas and the New Year.
The session takes place in the Club Room at the Dunchurch Village Hall. The Club Room was newly refurbished in October 2011, contains a kitchenette, and has its own adjacent toilet facilities. The entrance to the Club Room is at the far end of the complex. It is a porch like door with carriage lights on either side. There is well lit off street parking for over 70 cars.
There is a short break for coffee, tea and biscuits during the session.
Boards are prepared using a duplimate machine. Scoring is done at the table using BridgeTabs, the latest table scoring devices with large colour touch screens. There is a rolling display of the position throughout the session. Results are distributed with integrated hand records by e-mail to the players. Results are also loaded to the web site, available to members, together with some statistical analysis in the "competitions" section.
There is a host available to play with single players. Visitors are welcome.The bridge is managed by a qualified TD. There is an arrangement in place with an external referee to handle any appeals.
The club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union. Players are permitted to use agreements defined as Level 3 in the EBU Regulations (the "Orange" Book). EBU Master Points are awarded to qualifying players.
We are proud of the pleasant atmosphere at the session. All players are expected to support their partner, and to treat their opponents with courtesy. That's what makes an enjoyable afternoon for everyone.
Please see the Fees section for table money.
