| Coronavirus Update - September 2021 |
Like most other bridge clubs, Annandale Bridge Club has been closed for face-to-face bridge since March 2020. In the summer of 2021 we were optimistic that for the new season in September we would once again be able to play face-to-face. However the committee has decided that the Covid situation has not yet improved sufficiently for that to happen.
Our new season will start as planned on Thursday 2nd September, but with online tournaments on the BBO platform, as we did last season. We are very grateful to Chris Goode who hosted all our online tournaments last season, and who has indicated that he is willing to continue doing so for the time being. Our online tournaments start at 6.45 pm and cost 2 BBO dollars. Chris asks that we please register before 6.30 as it makes life much easier for him. Registration is therefore from 4.45 until 6.30 pm. Any new players wishing to play will have to contact Chris beforehand with log-in details. chrisgoode51@gmail.com
