In 2020 we raised £1650; 2021;we raised £1000; 2022 it was £1155; 2023 it was £1235, so a total of £5040 for Children in Need - Thank you!

Sessions will, as usual, be free of charge, but donations (please mark as Bridge Circle) are welcome, PLEASE, to eCatsBridge CiN or direct to the JustGiving page.
OR simply make a payment to the Circle (click here) with the payment description of CiN - PLEASE do not make a donation of £5.00
or it will be tricky differentiating it from membership payments (you are not all good at getting the payment description right...).  Any other amount will stand out. Thank you!

On the evening, search for the event WMBCircle - CiN

♥ The Circle will make a donation of £3 per player who plays in all its sessions during the period 09 - 15 November 2024, so even if you cannot play in the evening, you will be contributing by just playing in the afternoon ♥ 

Please note that local masterpoints will NOT be awarded and sessions will NOT count towards your EBU NGS. 
If, however, you win any overall masterpoints (ie, those applied by eCats), AND you have registered your EBU number with the Circle, you will receive these.

If you are not a member of the Circle, but would like to support Children in Need and play in these sessions, please complete the CiN temporary membership (11-15 November 2024) form below and you will be added to our list for a period around that time and welcome to play in any session during that time; two sessions per day Mon-Fri & Sat/Sun afternoons (please see below re afternoon sessions).

Members will have noticed that some afternoon sessions have not run due to insufficient members wishing to play.  So as not to disappoint members, we open up some afternoon sessions to other BBO players so that they are more likely to run.  

To enable Cathy to determine whether to open up the session or not, it would help if Circle players could be registered by 1.50pm (you can always log off until the starting time).  If Cathy does not have 3 tables by 1.50pm, the session will be opened up to accommodate guests.  If you do happen to log in after 1.50pm and cannot register, please chat "Cathey" (Cathy's BBO name) to let her know and she will increase the number of players permitted to register so you can join.

Please remember that visitors will likely play 5 card majors and strong NT and some may not speak English.  If you experience any difficulty, please call the TD.

Thank you.

♥ A reminder - if you are ever looking for a partner, or would like to play in other sessions but do not have a partner available, please email Cathy who will try to help. ♥
