| Relaxed Duplicate Bridge |
On Thursdays every week there are two relaxed duplicate sessions where you can simply turn up and play. No partner is required.
These sessions are directed by Clive Turner and although Clive will attempt to keep you on the straight and narrow ,by following the rules of duplicate bridge, these sessions are deliberately short [not much more than 2 hours] and only up to 15 boards will be played.
In addition if you get stuck with what to do you can ask Clive or use a 'crib sheet' to help you find the answer.
These sessions are suitable for players beginning bridge or those who feel the need a refresher or want to play without feeling under pressure. Others feel they just need the practice.
Both members [Table Money £1] and non-members [Table Money £3] are welcome.
Not only are these sessions open and relaxed but they are also by their very nature aimed at simple bidding systems [mostly Acol Foundation System]. If you are playing Roman KeyCard Blackwood for example then you would probably struggle to fit in.
Currently on Thursday Mornings the Brdigemate Scoring system is used but in the evening we look to pen and paper.
If you want to know more please contact Clive Turner [07506551429] or just turn up.
Thursday Mornings in the Wilson Room start at 10am.
Thursday Evenings in the Wilson Room start at 7pm - until 19/09/2024.
