| COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT |
An Update June 11th, 2021
In future players will NOT be allowed to sign up to play with a robot in our Wednesday Online Bridge sessions. Obviously if someone loses connection during the evening a robot will be substituted for them and a pair of robots will be used where we have a half table. We offer an (underused) Partner Broker service so if you are in need of a partner please contact Joan - contact details are on our website.

The event was last played in November 2020 and was jointly won by Jonathan Everett & Maria Reynolds from Abbeygate Club who have become regular supporters of the Bury Online sessions this year playing East/West and Bury Regulars Pamela Pope and Phil Mathews playing North/South.

| REALBRIDGE |
REALBRIDGE.
A link will be shown on our website, simply click on that and you will be able to join
Once on the home page you will need to fill in your name and EBU membership number in the ID box and then join a table, opposite your partner, if they are already there. If they are not there just click on an empty space. It’s as easy as that!
Three more points to take note of:-
- Use Chrome rather than Edge as your browser – RealBridge works much better on Chrome
- If you lose connection – Refresh or log back in again
- If necessary you can control the volume when playing by clicking on the mic symbol to the right of a person’s name.
If you need a partner please contact Joan 01284 787286 and she will send an email round to members.

| HOW TO PLAY BRIDGE ONLINE |
|
Never played bridge on-line - and intimidated by what's involved? DON'T BE!
An A-B-C guide to playing bridge at BridgeBaseOnline (BBO) which covers the most basic points - how to get started, how to join a game - has been created for Suffolk Bridge by Peter Bushby, and even includes some very fancy film clips.
The big advantage of playing on BBO is that you can partner a real person (for example, your regular partner) - rather than a robot - and it only costs $3.00 per game, of which 70% is returned to the relevant club later.
So with no prospect of any club bridge for at least three months and probably longer don't feel left out...just click on HOW TO PLAY BRIDGE ON LINE.
In addition to the basics, the comprehensive guide also shows how you can enter Suffolk's regular Sunday evening duplicate, how to play a match between two teams of four, and much more besides.
The EBU has also produced a guide on how to play on BBO. Click on EBU to see.
