Teaching - Online Supervised Play
Teaching - Online Supervised Play

Continues fortnightly on Wednesday evenings.

  • These events are available to all club members.
  • No teaching, but there will usually be a theme.
  • Commentaries on the hands are provided, usually including recommended bidding.
  • The formula is 12 boards, online using RealBridge, with a friendly supervisor at each table who will review and discuss the bidding and card play.
  • Starting at 7 o’clock, it should finish around 9 o’clock.
  • Each table is independent, going at its own speed, and this allows a spectrum of tables from beginners to advanced.
  • Supervisors are there to give advice on bidding and play. Players all help each other.
  • The cost is £4 per session, taken from club accounts based on an entry form.

We will need to know who is attending in advance, so we have the right number of supervisors on the day

A partner is not essential. We will pair people up if needed, but it helps enormously if players can find their own partners and make up groups of four.

Please book via the Calendar event on the main website.

The following list contains supervised play topics up to Dec 2024 which are available on request to run again.  If you have 4 players who would like us to run a particular topic, please ask and we will arrange it.
