It's been great to be back in the club after all this time. But some of you, like me, may have got more used to playing on BBO's format so here are a few memory joggers of some differences in F2F play:
- You need to sort your own cards out and hold them up so your opposition can't see them.
- Remember to use the Stop card.
- Alert your partner's conventional bids, not your own.
- You can play and bid out of turn if not careful.
- There is no Undo - although an immediate retraction can be made if you pull out the wrong bid.
- Be courteous and pleasant to your partner and opposition - remember that unlike BBO they can hear you!
- Dummy should remain silent and not comment while their partner is playing the hand.
Most importantly, enjoy yourself.

 The Buchanan has been the home of bridge in Glasgow since 1932.
The club is in a 19th century listed building and yet has all the benefits of technology with computer-dealt boards, Bridgemates on all tables, etc.
