 ♥ Club Statistics Update 24th September 2023 ♥ |
Now on reviewing web sites that haven't been reviewed for some time instead of following up notifications of changes to web sites. Also adding new sites to the database.
This has led to identifying clubs that are defunct rather than dormant. However, it has also identified clubs that are active rather than dormant.
In particular checking visitor numbers to sites has moved several from low visitor activity to medium levels of visitors.
The number of clubs in the database has risen to 781.
The number of identified club face to face sessions has gone over 1,142.
The number of club sessions analysed in detail has reached 494.
As dormant and defunct clubs are forming a big section (4% and 12%) they are now excluded from data about active clubs.
New defunct and dormant clubs are being included as they come to light to try and assess the long term impact of Covid. My estimate would be that 25% of clubs that were active pre-covid have folded. Smaller weekly clubs were hardest hit. Many clubs are almost back to pre-covid levels, but most are around 50-60%. Many clubs have critically low numbers.
Weekday morning sessions are few, but very well attended.
Despite my local observation, face to face evening sessions are numerous and well attended.

Blackheath Bridge Club
We are back..!
We held our AGM on Weds 25th January. Among other things, we voted to remain affiliated to the English Bridge Union. We have also had a changing of the guard, with Rosemary Lloyd taking over as Treasurer. We wish Ron Andrews all the best and many thanks for his 30 years in the role.
Onwards.. we are regularly getting 6 or 7 tables on Wednesday afternoons and we are hoping for more yet.. we've had to order some more handsets to cope with the increase in numbers and we're loving it..!
Our duplicate session is every Wednesday, starting at 1pm for 1.15 (approx. 3 and a quarter hours ).
We also meet every Thursday, starting at 6pm for 6.15.
On Thursday evenings unfortunately we've been unable to get sufficient numbers to play duplicate but there has been a recent surge of interest from new members. Until there are enough members to play duplicate, members have simply enjoyed playing bridge face to face again with other pleasant members. Please get in touch with Ivy Mcgeorge if you are interested in swelling the numbers. I.mcgeorge3@ntlworld.com
