Click here to see what's new since Lockdown ... it is updated regularly!
Stop Press! July 13. Though not currently a member, earlier this month a once long time member celebrated her 100th birthday. Marjorie Winn, a name familiar to many, has one of the most exciting back stories that reads like the plot from a novel. Born in Izmir, she escaped with her mother and younger brother in 1922 during the fall of the Ottoman empire. Bilingual, worked at the British embassy. If you wish to read more try page 22 of the Chichester Observer, July 9. We pass on our congratulations to this wonderful lady and remember her fondly from her many, many visits to the club.

| NO FEAR DUPLICATE BRIDGE |
No Fear Duplicate Bridge is a fun and friendly session for new and relatively new duplicate players run by Leigh Harding on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. It provides an opportunity to gain experience in playing in duplicate events and has proved to be a popular event for inexperienced players. Students in year 2 and above are welcome to join in the duplicate session or if preferred can join the separate practice tables (booking for practice tables essential – click on following link for further information and booking details: http://www.nofearbridge.co.uk/chichesterbc.html

| Which Session? |
The bridge sessions at Chichester club are diverse and hopefully cater to the desires of all our members.
Monday and Thursday evenings are our strongest sessions. 27 boards played. No partner is needed on a Thursday except the 4th Thursday in the month (see below).
The fourth Thursday each month is a Teams session for players of all abilities. Top pairs are randomly paired with less experienced pairs to give an interesting evening. However, for this session you must sign up in advance on the sheet in the clubroom.
Saturday evenings and Tuesday afternoons are more relaxed and 24 boards played.
New bi monthly ‘No Fear Duplicate Bridge’ Friday session started Jan 2017. This session is for students and newcomers to duplicate bridge and we initially expect to play only 15-18 boards. No partner needed for these sessions.
All our sessions are open to all members. Those who are new to bridge or less experienced will probably want to start with the Friday, Saturday or Tuesday session. Visitors new to the club are welcome to trial each session until they find the session(s) most appropriate or exceed six attendances, at which point they would be invited to join. Though the bridge standard varies enormously dependent on the session chosen, we want all members to enjoy their bridge and we expect all members to adhere to Best Behaviour at Bridge at every session.
