We hope you are keeping safe and well and looking forward to hearing about the roadmap from Boris on Monday. Before that here's a few things happening in our Online Bridge in the weeks ahead:
Our Diamond Jubilee events continue on Wednesday March 3rd at 6:55pm with the Mens Pairs and Ladies Pairs. As well as chance to have your name in lights, we will be giving prizes for the best results. To help us run these popular events, please can you sign-up on our website using the boxes on the top story on the main page, so we know how many pairs to expect.
From March 1st the price of the Lancashire BPS games will rise to £3.00 per game. Bolton games will remain the same at £2.50 per session. This is because the costs of running Lancashire BPS games have gone up (by more than 50p) when we moved to using our new TDs, who pay BBO for the use of their service. This move gives us a number of benefits including an unlimited number of pairs per event, and a more stable service when BBO is busy.
Our Improver Lessons with John Stell have proved very popular in the early weeks. Tomorrow's lesson is on Puppet Stayman. If you would like to come along to them you need to be registered with John. Lessons are priced at £5.00 each and you only pay for the ones you attend. Please reply to this email if you want more information.
We are looking to organise some beginner lessons if we have sufficient interest. If you have friends or relations who might be interested in learning bridge, please let us know so we can gauge the level of interest.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the end of March using online video conferencing. Details of this will be sent out over the next couple of weeks.
Enjoy your bridge whether socially or in duplicate sessions.

| BPS Spring Competitions 2021 |
The new series of Lancashire BPS competition events starts in February. They are open to all registered BPS online players. The Open Championships will be held on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month over 6 sessions. The Mens, Ladies and Mixed competitions will be held on the 2nd Wednesday respectively of each month.
Open Championship Monday Feb 1,15, March 1,15, April 5,19

Mixed Pairs Championship Wednesday April 14th
Anybody can play on any of these dates but a prize will be given for the best pair in the category Open and Under 10 (average for the pair) In the relevant month. No pair can win more than one prize so if an Under 10 pair is the overall winner they will not count in the Under 10. Prizes will be given in the form of a free BPS session. Any disputes will be decided by the BPS committee whose decision is final. All winners appear on the Southport BPS Honors Board.
