| Update on the new ventilation system and F2F bridge in the club |
Good news! The ventilation system is now fully operational and was in use for the first time for the F2F bridge session on Wednesday afternoon in the club (20 October) . The new system means we can play bridge in an atmosphere adhering to the guidelines for ventilation (i.e. litres of fresh air per person per second and number of air changes per hour) and in a temperature controlled environment.
There were 8 full tables for the Wednesday afternoon session but, disappointingly, only 3 pairs turned up for the Monday evening session in the club. We hope there will be a session next Monday (25 October) in the club and we have set up an entry page on the website for anyone thinking they might like to play. That way we will be able to gauge if there is sufficient interest to hold a session, and we will be able to let people know if there isn't. See the yellow box on the LHS. Bridge sessions on BBO are continuing as they are and don't need booking in advance.

| Supervised social play restarting |
Sheena's Supervised Social Play sessions are going to restart in line with the new season of lessons. These are a great way to enjoy practicing what you have learned without the pressure of competition and will take place from 1-4 pm every Monday starting on 4th October. The cost remains £3 for members and £4 for non-members but is, of course, now cashless in line with the Covid precautions that I outlined for lessons.
Just turn up, pay and enjoy!
