General Procedures & Etiquette
  • ​​​​DO make your opening lead face down and do so before filling in your score card or operating the Bridgemate (it saves time!).
  • DO call the TD when something goes wrong.
  • DO keep your eye on the timer if displayed and try to keep to time.
  • DO make sure your cards are returned to the board in the correct slot.
  • DO leave your bidding cards on the table until the Opening Lead is faced.
  • DON’T ask questions about the bidding after the auction until your partner has the opening lead face down on the table.
  • DON’T pick up your cards and return to the board until everybody at the table agrees the result.
  • DON’T pressure your opponents into accepting your interpretation of the rules (call the TD).
  • DON’T make comments about the opponents bidding or play (unless invited).
  • ABOVE ALL BE NICE!

TRANSPORT: LIFTS, TAXI OR CAR SHARE?

A list is available under the Members/Lifts or Taxi sharing for members to see who else in their area is seeking to share transport. UBER taxis are readily available in the area surrounding the club as they use the area as a "waiting" area for the airport! One idea is to get the train to Hillington East or West or Crookston Stations and arrange for a taxi to pick you up there.
