Stand-by Volunteers Needed

We urgently need more volunteers to act as Stand-bys for sessions in July
Anyone who acts as a stand-by will get a free session
when they play ,or for their next game if not
Please contact Chrys Poole on 01628 440600,
preferably as a pair, but singles also welcome.
This helps to ensure that everyone gets a game
and we avoid having to use robots

Showing your Real Names

Thank you to most members who have responded
to the request to show real names in their online profile.

Round Times Reduced
Following trials during thre past week, which caused no problems

These Gentle Bridge sessions are for players to gain experience 
in playing  competitively against others of similar standard,
before playing with more experienced players.
Inexperienced players may also play with an experienced partner
 who is helping them.

18 boards are played, with a time limit for each round.
Players may register for the event in BBO from about 9.00 onwards.

As for all online games, players must register
with Bridgebase Online to get a User Name
