Robin at the student table

Usually partner is not required and about 20 boards will be played to finish by 12:30. Visitors welcome. Click here for the dates in the monthly calendar From June 2026 these will become every week for a trial period.

Changes start May 5th for Monday and Tuesday duplicate sessions

Members will have received an email from Angela (24th April 2026) regarding a trial WhatsApp group she has set up on behalf of the club for players, particularly those who play at the Monday afternoon and Tuesday evening club sessions. This is now active for the Monday and Tuesday club events. Please email Angela if you wish to join this group. Please do use the WhatsApp group to indicate when you would like to play otherwise it could be assumed, incorrectly, that you will not be playing at that session. The first session using new WhatsApp system was Tuesday May 5th 2026.

Friday evening players have a less techy method to keep the director informed, just email to Ann only if you wish to play at the Friday evening club duplicate session and need a partner. Even less techy, always come armed with a pencil when playing at a Friday evening duplicate session to indicate on the paper chart which future weeks you are expecting to play at the Friday evening duplicate session.
