| DupliCake Bridge Sessions |
|
Our first DupliCake session was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended. The next session is on Sunday 29th March at 2pm (the last Sunday of the month).
DupliCake is a social session (not NGS rated), with around 18 boards played and a midway break for cake and a chat.
A host will be available if you don’t have a partner. Please book via the website calendar so we can ensure at least four tables and, most importantly, enough cake! If you need help booking, please email Jon at Jon_brooks2@hotmail.com.
