| Real Bridge every Wednesday |
 click on LINK to play RealBridge on Wednesday evening from 6.30 to 6.55pm for a 7pm start.
Some people have found circular blue & white icons appearing in front of their bidding cards if they are using Edge - they appear as ![]() ![]() image001.png and image002.png
It is caused by a feature of Edge called "Visual Search". This feature should be disabled for the RealBridge site. To do that, hover over the icon (or the upper of the two icons), so that you can see the lower icon with three dots in it. Click on the three dots, and a submenu will appear, like this: image003.png
Then do "hide for this site" (if you want to disable this feature for all websites you can instead do "hide always")

| Supervised play for improvers |
In January 2023 our club introduced a supervised play session that runs alongside the normal club duplicate on Thursday nights.
Supervised play is open to all players who have advanced from ‘beginners’ to ‘improvers.’ The session will be run by an experienced player or qualified EBU teacher.
Hands will be pre dealt with help and guidance on bidding and hand – play, so this will suit a player with some experience or has completed a beginner class.
Starting at 7pm the class will usually finish 9 – 9-30 pm
