| We are back! |
We are delighted to say we have returned to our regular face to face bridge session on Friday evenings.
Shortly we will be running another 'Beginning Bridge' course so please make anyone who may be interested aware. We are also running an improvers/refresher course; 'Continuing Bridge'.
Our face to face sessions are available to all, members or not, so long as you have received all NHS vaccinations/boosters recommended (for you) for Covid. You must also be without symptoms of any contagious illness. There will also be some minor requirements such as sanitising hands on EVERY entry to the hall while space and ventilation will be maximised. If you wish you may also bring your own mug for tea/coffee or your own bidding box.

Regular session Friday evenings at 7:30pm.
We are also running a daily game on Funbridge. You'll need a Funbridge account (free) and our game password to play these daily games. They work on a drop in drop out basis, so, to complete the 'event' you'll need to play all 10 boards but at a time or times to suit you over a 24 hour period. You can play these games completely free of charge without a partner on a computer or via an iPhone or iPpad App.
Please contact us for the password and visit www.funbridge.com or download the App to get started. Our game is found through 'Exclusive Tournaments' under our club name.
Please note we now only run BBO sessions on an ad-hoc basis.
We also have a WhatsApp group (UCBC Chatter) for members to keep in touch, discuss bridge or anything else, please join us.
If would like help accessing any of these facilities Tony will be delighted to assist.

Fantastic news! - Many congratulations to Pauline 'Hedgehog' Hedger and Brendan Felton who won the Essex Club Pairs competition scoring almost 60% in the process. Angela Fenton & David Cooper also had a solid session finishing in 5th spot with over 54%, the combined scores of both pairs meant we are the Essex Club Pairs winners!
Again congratulations to both pairs and thank you for representing Upminster & Cranham Bridge Club.
Our online games continue to be popular and members are also due congratulations for achievements over the last month or so:
Recent MasterPoint records show that Jim Flavin took the first step on the ladder to the rank of Local Master, Eleanor Duignam was promoted to Club Master and we are very pleased to see that Tom Carne was promoted to County Master. Very well played gentlemen!
The achievements and progression of our members gives us great pleasure and we offer you all our heartfelt congratulations, keep it up!
