A series of Masterclasses will be presented in the club by four of our leading players in February and March.

The sessions will commence at 6.30, and there will be time for questions and discussion before bridge commences.

The schedule is as follows;

February 9 - Valerie Hand will speak on the topic of defense

March 2 - John Kennedy on Counting and Probability in bridge

March 13 - John Fagan on Exotic Plays

March 20 - Martin Carroll on Thinkng after Dummy has been revealed

Members will be glad to know that our panel of back up TD's is engaging in continuous training with Michael Rowan.

The plan is to follow up on the initial sessions which have now been completed with each panel member working with Michael to set up the club bridge on several occasions in a 'live' environment. When the team have all completed this, we will make sure the skills acquired are kept fresh through ongoing practice.

The panel currently includes Finola McDonald, Ronan Nolan, Christine Heath, Robert Wolfe, John Biggar, Sheila O'Kiersey, Donal O'Mearain, Niall Pelly, John Corcoran and Aidan Clarke. If any other members would like to join the panel, please let us know.

The wearing of face masks in the club is now optional. The club endeavours to remain a safe environment with a big emphasis on natural ventilation, coupled with the use of CO2 Monitors and air purifiers.

Out of consideration for other members please wear a mask if you have a cough, even if you are certain you are not infectious  

If you have any symptoms of Covid 19 please do not attend.
