| Club News - Tuesday evening F2F |
CHANGE TO TUESDAY EVENING HOSTING
All our volunteer hosts live outside Bakewell, so during October we will be trialling a different system to try to avoid having them travel to The Medway unnecessarily.
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 her/him to come down to The Medway. S/he will be ready to come to Bakewell, but will be waiting to find out if s/he is needed at home rather than at The Medway.
We'll decide at the beginning of November whether to make this change permanent.

| 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.
