Hi Pat,

I hope you don't mind me getting in touch. My name is Mike Smith and
I'm a bridge player based in Spain — like many of your members, I love
playing bridge on cruise ships.

I'm writing because I'm trying to connect bridge players who cruise,
so they can travel together as a group and guarantee a proper game on
board.

To explain how it works: this isn't a formal hosted bridge programme.
We simply bring together like-minded players who are already planning
to cruise, so they can travel on the same sailing. We find a volunteer
from the group to direct sessions — typically two relaxed games on sea
days, mornings and afternoons — and join in with any ship-organised
bridge when it's available. The focus is sociable bridge with fellow
enthusiasts, not competition.

We're currently putting together a group for three cruises in October,
November and December. Ambassador Cruise Line have confirmed group
rates and onboard credit for our members, so there's a genuine saving
on offer as well as the social benefit.

Full details of the cruises we're featuring are at:

Bridge at Sea (https://bridgescorer.com) is a free resource for bridge
players who cruise — it includes a Cruise Finder covering all major UK
lines, free offline bridge apps, and duplicate movement cards.
Everything is free to join.

I'd be very grateful if you could mention us in your newsletter or
pass this on to any members who cruise. I've attached a small poster
for your notice board if that would help.

Many thanks for your time — and happy bridge!

Mike Smith
