| BRIDGE PRACTICE SESSIONS |
 We are signposting lots of opportunities for practicing your bridge. Please though, don't overdo it. We offer a variety so that hopefully everyone can find something to fit in with their other commitments, and still keep their bridge going forward.
As well as our own PPC LOUNGE 24/7, there are now 3 opportunities to practice your bridge here with fellow students at set times each week. All Purple Page Club Members are welcome to join any of these but you do need to book in advance. During Class weeks sessions are held as follows:
THURSDAY 10.30 -12.30. GENTLE DUPLICATE SESSION with Rona. 12 Boards, no supervision or teaching, just have fun playing bridge, moving every few hands to play against different opponents.
THURSDAY 6.30 - 8.00 PM. SUPERVISED PLAY SESSION with Grace and Chris. NOTE THE TIME CHANGE. Only 90 minutes. After that time playing in the evening we may not absorb so much. Play up to 12 hands, no moving, as much or as little supervision or advice as you wish.
FRIDAY 10.30 - 12.30. SUPERVISED PLAY SESSION with Grace and Chris. Play up to 16 hands, no moving, as much or as little supervision or advice as you wish. (Same hands as Thursday evening, so if you wish to play both, sit in the opposite direction for the 2nd visit)
HOW TO BOOK A SESSION.
Log into your Member area and you will see a BOOKINGS tab. Click on that. You will see a list of the sessions coming up. Those that require booking will have some tick boxes alongside. To book for yourself click on the PL box (PL=playing). If you wish to play with an agreed partner, then enter the partner's name in the box alongside. Then REMEMBER to press CONFIRM to save your Booking. Once you've confirmed, your name should show in the list on the right.
You may scroll down and click on as many sessions as you wish, but remember to press Confirm at the end.
If you need to cancel a booking just go in again and untick.

| PURPLE PAGE CLUB LOUNGE now open 7 days |
Due to 'popular demand' the PURPLE PAGE CLUB SUNDAY LOUNGE will now be open throughout the week. During this period Members are able to agree with 3 other Members to take a table at an agreed time, by simply all logging on by CLICKING on THE TITLE for this item, using the private Club Session ID, then sitting at the same table, and playing up to 32 boards. You can play as few or as many boards as you wish. You can even play a few hands, stop for lunch or until next day, then return to YOUR TABLE and play a few more hands.The idea though, is to give everyone the chance to practice the bridge we're teaching with other students. So please, while having a relaxed time, obey the rules of bridge, don't use notes, and remain silent during bidding and play. That's how you will progress your bridge, by communicating with your partner through the bidding box. Have a long chat with your co-players after each hand by all means. There will be no supervision or assistance available in the PPC Lounge.
To help you get in touch with each other to arrange games, Alison Halls has organised a What's App group for Beginners, and Debbie Birrell has organised one for the ABC Groups. The PRIVATE CLUB SESSION ID is on your Member tab if you forget it. Have fun trying it out!
