A reminder to club members that our duplicate sessions on Monday 7 July, Wednesday 9 July and Thursday 10 July will comprise Simultaneous Pairs events.  The event on Wednesday 9 July follows after the online Annual General Meeting of the club.  The sessions will be held on RealBridge and just follow the usual links to play.  SIMS are sessions where identical boards are played at all the bridge clubs that have entered the event - usually at least 20 clubs nationally and internationally.  They therefore represent a great opportunity to play competitive bridge in the relaxed setting for which Bewdley is renowned.  The SIMS are managed by E-Cats Bridge, with whom the club has an established long term relationship.

The SIMS sessions are charitable and look to raise funds for very worthwhile causes.  Funds raised from this programme of SIMS will be donated to Kidney Research UK and The British Heart Foundation.  E-Cats suggest a donation of £3 per player per session but clearly the amount paid is entirely at the discretion of players.

Full details of how to make charitable donations appear on the E-Cats Bridge website.  Please do not make payments directly to either E-Cats Bridge or Bewdley Bridge Club.

I would encourage every member to participate in these sessions which represent one of the highlights of the club year.  These are not elite competitions - far rather they are aimed at maximising participation by club bridge players and maximising funds for good causes.  You are welcome to play in as many of the SIMS sessions as you would like, regardless of the club subscription which you hold and regardless of the sessions in which you usually play.

I wish everyone playing in the SIMS the very best of luck and look forward to seeing some excellent scores by Bewdley players.

Kindest Regards,

David Halford
