| Children in Need Charity Pairs |
The ECats Charity Pairs sessions, supporting Children in Need, take place w/c 9th November. We will be supporting the event, with our table money for those sessions increased to $8 online and £6 for F2F, so we can support this excellent cause to the level we have been doing in recent years.
Visitors are welcome online and at The Medway, but if you would like to join us in BBO and you're not a club member, please let Barbara know (by Monday 8th November at the latest) using the Contact Us form under Club Information in the menu, or directly using the details at the bottom of the Home Page.

| Club News - Tuesday evening F2F |
TUESDAY EVENING HOSTING
The trial of our new hosting system was a success so the arrangement is now permanent. If you would like to play with a host on a particular evening, please let Barbara Rogers know by 4:30pm on that Tuesday at the very latest — phone number under "Where & When" in the "Club Information" section of the menu. Barbara will then contact the Host and ask them to come down to The Medway. They will be ready to come to Bakewell, but will be waiting at home to find out if they are needed.

| Wednesday Afternoon Pairs |
The Wednesday afternoon face-to-face sessions at The Medway are running well.
Play starts at 2pm so please be there by 1:45 to ensure a prompt start.
Refreshments are available throughout. Results are posted both with and without handicaps.
There will be a host so don't worry if you don't have a partner - we'll pair you up with someone.

| Online Alerting |
Alerting online in BBO is significantly different from face to face. We've written a guide under “Guidance for Playing” in our menu (on the left on a computer and at the top of the screen on a phone).
In summary, you alert all non-natural bids, not just up to 3NT, and you ALERT YOUR OWN BIDS.
Please also remember to give a summary of your system in the chat at the beginning of a round, have a summary on your profile, and post a convention card.
