| Online Bridge |
I've now managed to upload our virtual club results to EBU so that members will receive masterpoints for their success. It is also possible to amend any scores so please check the results and notify me of any incidents requiring amendment, eg aborted, unplayed/unplayable boards etc. There is one obvious error in these results. I will contact those concerned and correct in due course.
Most members now seem confident online and we may be able to consider increasing the number of boards we play. 24 boards should be possible if members don't mind a 10:00 pm finish. Our slot runs to 10:45. Even a finish slightly after 10 may be acceptable - there's no drive home, quite an advantage on winter evenings! Please let David or me know your views.
Welcome to all new and lapsed members who have joined our online club which continues to thrive. Last evening we were the first virtual club on BCL to achieve 10 tables. Well done everyone!

| Online bridge |
Many members have participated in online bridge over the last six months whilst the club has been closed for Face To Face Bridge. In particular there have been weekly social bridge events on Bridge Club Live (BCL) played as Teams of Four.
BCL has developed its offer to the bridge community significantly over the last six months. In particular, BCL has developed the capacity for individual bridge clubs to stage a weekly virtual club night. Bewdley Bridge Club has been at the forefront of this development.
Three sessions have now been staged as Bewdley Bridge Club on Wednesday evenings, starting from 2 September. I am delighted to report that each session has seen teething problems being resolved and the most recent event, held on 16 September, was almost entirely free from incident. An 18 board duplicate movement was completed in two hours with results uploaded to the club website and submitted to the English Bridge Union. I am confident that we now have a robust mechanism in place to stage a weekly online game of duplicate bridge.
I hope that as many as possible will wish to share in this initiative. In formally launching the virtual club initiative I must express my deepest gratitude to Richard Greenwood and Alan Booth for their tireless work with developing online bridge and preparing us for this launch.
I wish to express my thanks to all club members who have supported the club so loyally over the last six months by participating in regular online bridge events. There are only three clubs in Worcestershire that are able to offer virtual online bridge and your loyal support has been the spur to ensuring that Bewdley Bridge Club can provide this service.
Stay well - I look forward to seeing you at the virtual bridge table.
David Halford
Club Chairman, September 2020

| Bewdley Bridge Club - Cancellation of Wednesday Bridge |
URGENT MESSAGE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF BEWDLEY BRIDGE CLUB
In the light of the severity of the global health crisis caused by the rapid spread of the Coronavirus and in anticipation of potential announcements from government that might restrict social activities, the Committee of Bewdley Bridge Club has decided that Wednesday bridge sessions, starting from the planned session this week on Wednesday 18 March 2020 will be CANCELLED until further notice.
The Committee deeply regrets taking this course of action and looks forward to resumption of bridge, albeit on a date which we cannot predict at this stage.
We wish all our members good health during these unprecedented times.
David Halford
Club Chairman

| Bewdley Bridge Club |
Bewdley Bridge Club was founded in 1975. We have played at various venues over the years but are now based at an excellent venue, the Elizabeth Mills Centre, Sion Gardens, Stourport DY13 8BH (opposite the Civic Centre). Our regular club night is Wednesday evenings throughout the year starting at 7:00 pm, so please arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes before to allow the Director to set up the movement. We are affiliated to the English Bridge Union and the Worcestershire Contract Bridge Association and encourage participation in events administered by both organisations. The club extends a welcome to new members with tuition available via the club if required or of interest.
Bewdley Bridge Club uses modern bridge equipment and technology and offers an interesting events calendar including EBU Simultaneous Pairs, Swiss Teams and Swiss Pairs as well as normal duplicate pairs. The club regularly attracts 9 full tables and bridge is played in a friendly atmosphere.
