| IMPROVE YOUR DUPLICATE |
Now that the Rothley Centre has reopened, we have finalised the plan for our “Improve Your Duplicate” sessions.
These will be run by Brian and Richard; they are aimed at those who have completed the Charnwood Bridge Teachers course and are already playing Club or Teams duplicate, and regular club players who want to improve their game.
As the return to the Rothley Centre has been delayed, we will only be running five sessions this summer. These will be held on Thursday mornings, running from 10.00 to about 12.20.
You don’t need to pre-book. You don’t need a partner – we will pair up those who come as singletons.
We will have a sign-up sheet at the first session where you can let us know (without commitment) whether you plan to attend on future dates. This helps us to plan how many pre-dealt boards we need for each session.
Each of the topics is stand-alone, so you can dip in and out as you please. They will be the same price as last year - £7.50 per head. We don’t yet have a card machine, so (at least for the first session) the table money will be payable in cash on the day – please bring the right change with you.
The current plan is for five topics:
June 11 Negative doubles
June 25 Simple endplays
July 9 Avoidance plays
July 23 Planning at trick 1
August 6 Better use of trumps in defence

| BACK AT THE ROTHLEY CENTRE |
We are delighted to tell you that all of our teaching sessions will now be back at the Rothley Centre.
The first of the Summer sessions will be on 18 May (Year 1 will be a refresher session in Meeting Room 1 and Year 2 & 3 will have a combined duplicate session in the Lounge). The Improve Your Duplicate sessions for Club players will start in June.
Notes will go out to each Year group in due course but all the details are on the Calendar on the website.

| CHARNWOOD BRIDGE TEACHERS - CONSTITUTION |
We have grown significantly (and beyond our initial expectation!) from the small class we started in Autumn 2019 to well over 100 Teachers, Buddies and students.
As a result, we recently decided to codify CBT's aims, management and structure. We now have a formal Constitution (click anywhere in this note to download a copy).
CBT's Committee comprises all six teachers, and the Officers are Chairman (Stuart), Treasurer (Gail) and Secretary (Richard).
All students are members of the Club and by virtue of membership, are treated as having accepted this Constitution. They most relevant segment for student members is:
OBJECTS
........
3. To provide and maintain an enjoyable and friendly atmosphere in which to learn.
4. To promote and uphold the game’s etiquette so that the learning experience remains enjoyable for everyone.
By paying their term fees, student members automatically agree to abide by the Constitution and the aims of CBT, in particular objects 3. and 4. above, and accept they too have a vital role in helping the Club to achieve these aims.
