Face to face f2f bridge is running on Tuesdays at 7:30PM.
Coronavirus is still around so we will:
- We will maximise ventilation in the room
- Hand sanitisers will be available
- We request people not to come if they are at risk of having covid (symptoms or close contact with someone with covid)
It's been a long time so do you need a partner? If so, please let Steve
know.
Cash will be accepted for table money which is unchanged at £2.50 for members and visitors.
We are reviewing what we do with subscriptions, but they will not be
asked for before the end of August.
Are there any other things we need to do to help you restart?
We look forward to seeing you for f2f bridge on 19th April.
These rules are more onerous on the openers etc so we would appreciate offers to help with opening up etc. Please let Steve know if you can help open / close up.
The Thursday evening 7:15pm on-line game will continue
until the f2f numbers suggest that we can trial a second evening.
On behalf of the Committee.

There are two main choices - BBO and Bridge Club Live (UK based so more ACOL). There are also free possibilities and obviously more options with the paying services.

Playing with BBO robots https://youtu.be/-bU_6rcKimI
If you do not have a partner, you can play with a robot. The robots play a system called GIB which is a simple 2/1 strong NT 5 card major system. Strong 2C and 3 weak 2s.
