Burnham BC   at  SBBC    
Mondays now at 10.30 a.m.

Stand-by Volunteers Needed

The response has been very good
and we are very grateful to all those
who have volunteered as stand-by players,
who play or not as necesary
to ensure that there is not a half-table. 

We need to keep up our stream of volunteers
to ensure that we will never have to bring in outsiders
who do not fit in with our standard of bridge.
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,
if you are prepared to consider helping.

Master Point and NGS Results

Master Point have been issued for all SBBC events from May 5th onwards and will count for NGS ratings.

But we have to apologise because many of the results have not yet been uploaded to the EBU.
This is because of technical problems with translating User names to real names.

These problems have now been sorted out and all will soon be included on the EBU site.

Gentle Bridge Sessions

Our Gentle Bridge sessions for less experienced players have now been running for two weeks.
We are delighted that they have been well supported
and they will be continuing
every Tuesday and Thursday morning

Gentle Bridge for less experienced players

Our new Gentle Bridge sessions are being well attended

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

Only simple systems - EBU Level 1 or Level 2 may be used.

A £3.00 fee is charged for all online sessions
