| Sunday Afternoon Duplicate |
Sunday afternoon bridge resumed at the beginning of January. Sessions from 2pm to 5pm every Sunday costing £3 for members and £4 for visitors.
This is less competitive than our evening duplicates with more of a social atmosphere.
We see this as a stepping stone for those members who play in our Thursday morning duplicate and who would like a second game, playing more boards.
Of course, everyone is welcome but we want our experienced players to remember that there will be players of mixed abilities and that it is to be a relaxed informal session.
The host system will stop at the end of February so if you need a partner pick up a phonelist and/or speak to Gill.

| Magazines and Diary |
Members who have accumulated the necessary entitlement should automatically receive the August 2019 edition of English Bridge together with the 2020 diary. To reduce costs and wastage the EBU have announced that henceforth they intend to withdraw the automatic issue of these diaries. Members are advised that from 2020 if they wish to receive a diary they will need to positively opt in. To do this members will need to login to their My EBU account and check the appropriate tick box, even if they were previously marked to receive it. The club can assist members with doing this providing that the member has given the club permissions to update their details. Talk to Gareth if you need any help.
