The Bridge Academy meets Tuesdays and Fridays at 8.00pm
Academy Sunday Bridge - 25 June

Our next session will be on Sunday 25 June at 2pm.

To facilitate the program for Sunday 25 June we have two events:  

One event will be for food where the charge is £5 per person.  And we will allow non-member spouses to join us for £5.  Here the minimum required is 40 people for this to go ahead.  The deadline is Monday 19 June to decide whether to order food or not.

The other event will be for bridge play – here we will go ahead with a minimum of 6 tables.  Members will pay £2 and non-members will pay £5. Cutoff at 11am on 25 June.

Members will have to register for each event – ie. if you are eating and want to play bridge register on both events.  If you want to come just for play, register only for the play event.  And if you just want to join us for food, register only for the food event.

 

Cut off for food event will be Monday 19th June to enable organising food.

BRIDGE ETHICS – AT THE TABLE

CALL THE DIRECTOR. Many problems that the director has to deal with are as a result of players trying to sort things out themselves. We all do things wrong at the table – we revoke, we bid out of turn etc. Many players think they know the rules. The directors do know or at least they know where to look! The director will not mind being called, but will hate having to unravel a situation caused by not being called.

Finally, do not regard an opponent calling the director as a personal slight against you. Remember that the result at your table affects the scores of everyone in the room and the director is there to ensure fairness to all.

Coffee Time Seminars

We had been offered an opportunity to take part in a free event arranged by Andrew Robson in conjunction with RealBridge. Andrew Robson is an international player who regularly represents England, a highly regarded author and the Bridge correspondent for The Times (of London).

We organised the four sessions during March and April 2021

To review the boards played during these training sessions look under RESULTS.
