| Monday afternoon Face-to-Face session 1.15 start |
Our new Afternoon F2F bridge sessions will continue on Monday 23rd January at 1.30pm, replacing our Monday evening sessions. Please arrive at 1.15pm for a prompt start. The first session last week drew a disappointingly small attendance. If the club wants good class face-to-face bridge similar to that on offer on Tuesday evenings on-line, please come now.
Our Wednesday morning F2F relaxed sessions will continue as normal.

| Good behaviour at the bridge table |
As a Club we have a well-deserved reputation for being welcoming and friendly. However, the normally high standards of behaviour at the club can be undermined by occasional lapses. Can we remind members of the ways in which we can all help to make sure that bridge is an enjoyable game for everyone who comes to Abingdon:
- greeting others in a friendly manner prior to the start of play on each round
- being polite to opponents and partners
- giving credit when opponents make a good bid or play
- making your convention card readily available to your opponents and filling it out completely.
Please click here if you would like to see the EBU's guide to best behaviour at the bridge table.
