| Buckingham Bridge Club On-line |
We do not expect to be able to hold our regular Monday club nights at The Centre in Buckingham for some considerable time and it is likely that the only way many of us will be able to play bridge will be on-line. That is why, with support from the EBU, we have established a virtual Buckingham Bridge Club.
We can now offer to our members and guests a virtual club night every Monday evening at which we play a duplicate pairs event on-line. Play starts at 7.00pm and lasts just over two hours. Results are sent to the EBU and posted to this website.

| General Information |
Buckingham Bridge Club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union (EBU) and meets weekly on Monday evenings to play duplicate bridge at The Centre in Verney Close (opposite the library). There is limited parking in Verney Close and ample parking in the car park at the back of Waitrose (which is free in the evenings). We pride ourselves on providing our members and their guests with competitive bridge in a very friendly environment.
Play starts at 7.00 p.m. so players should aim to arrive and be seated by 6.50 p.m. Play is normally concluded by 10.00 p.m.
If you are in any doubt about the club opening due to inclement weather or any other reason, please check the web site before leaving home. A notice will be posted on this web site as soon as any decision is made.

| Requests |
When its your turn to bid please try to avoid a long delay or fingering the bidding cards - and then PASSING. It conveys illicit information to your partner who will know that you can almost make a bid.
Remember - slow play can spoil it for others.
