| First Class New Session - Thurs @ 6.30pm |
 It is always good to be the bearer of glad tidings, First Class Bridge are starting a new session on Thursday Evening at 6.30pm at Barleylands. When clubs are finding it hard for the evening sessions always good to announce a club raging against the dying of the light. So with Bernie's inimitable presence as host, let's not go gently into that good night but get along for an even better evening at Barleylands. I also understand that the county chairman will be in attendance, but don't let that put you off! And FYI the first session on the 7th September is free.
Please ley Bernie know if you are planning to attend - firstclassbridge@btconnect.com.

| National Handicap Pairs 10 September 2023 |
The National Handicap Pairs Championship started in 2021 with the results based on scores handicapped by NGS grade, so anyone has the opportunity to do well on the day, regardless of their experience level. In the first year's event this proved to be the case when it was won by a pair whose NGS are 6 &7. Handicaps will be based on the average NGS of the two players in each pair, so all players will need to have their NGS visible. It is a single session competition of around 30 boards.
The local heat is at 1pm at Barleylands, Billericay. Entry is £7.50 per person (Including free tea/coffee, biscuits etc.) There is also a café below the premises open until 4pm. All details and entry form on the First Class Bridge website.

Some Website users may be unaware of a wonderful new and updated Bridgewebs feature for reviewing your results. Go to "Results", and click on "Scorecards". Under each hand, there's a "Play It Again" button that's been around for a while. A new feature - the "Results Analysis" button - gives all sorts juicy statistics, including X-IMPs for teams events. It only applies where automated deal files have been uploaded. See the Help File for a full explanation.
