We have set up a WhatsApp channel to help us send you urgent information about road closures etc—anything that might hinder your getting to the club on a Monday evening.

It's a one-way broadcast channel—so we can send messages to you but you couldn't use it to send a reply. But if you carry your smartphone around with you, it could prove a more effective way of sending alerts to you than putting them on the website.

To subscribe to the channel, you can either copy this URL into your browser, or scan the QR code.

Each pair’s best four positions are used to calculate their final position. These four scores are added together. The overall winners of the Club Championship are the qualifying pair with the lowest total score over the course of the seven qualifying sessions.

Remember: you have to play in the same pair for at least four of the seven sessions in order to be in the running.

THE PROVISIONAL FINAL TABLE: Pairs who have played at least four rounds:

Please check these totals if you are concerned about them. (Although the scoring on each session is controlled by the computer, the transfer of the scores to this table is manual and therefore prone to human error.)

My apologies to Robin and Bob for allowing an audacious 3NT to make on our very last hand of the evening—hand 24 on 10th February—thereby enabling Meena and Fiona to snatch victory at the final moment.

KEY

We will always:

• Run a session every Monday evening^[1].
• Use movements which work, so long as all participants arrive on time and make it through to the end.
• Provide a host for each session so that you know you can turn up without a partner^[2].
• Publish the results of each session on the club website later the same evening.
• Include the contracts as well as the scores in those results.
• Include details of all the hands in those results.
• Submit the results to the EBU within 24 hours, to enable Masterpoints to be accumulated.
• Explain promptly on this home page if there has been a problem.
• Run all sessions from the same location: the Claygate Community Centre^[3].

The small print:

1. Except on public holidays.
2. Except on Club Championship evenings.
3. The Elmbridge Draft Local Plan, published 16th March 2022, states that the Community Centre will be rebuilt to add 14 residential units during the period 2028-2032.

We play Duplicate Pairs each Monday, except on Bank Holidays.
