If you are a Bridge player who would like access to online duplicates, then please register you Bridge Base Online (BBO) User Name on this site from the menu option on the left.

If you register during week b/g 6 Apr, I will be in touch with you on Wed 8 Apr regarding accessing the Fun 2 Play Online Duplicates.  Please be aware that online duplicates are usually 12 board sessions and last approx 1.5 hours.

Once you have provided your BBO User Name on the Fun 2 Play website  and played your first free game (if not already, then can play one game for free by Thu this week) and then paid for the sessions bundle, you can join ALL the online games run by the club, without booking - it is like turning up at a Bridge club to play

** BREAKING NEWS**

There will now be regular games every Mon 2pm, Thu 2pm, Fri 2pm

** note the change - no game this Wed 10:15 am **

It is not necessary for you to have a partner -  can join the game's partnership desk and can / should pair up with others individuals if you would like to play, because a host is not guaranteed

Similarly, if you are the last 'half' pair, you may not get to play, because online, the movement requires full tables so that there is no sit out.

Hope you Enjoy the games -  you will be playing with / against pairs you know from the club

Time to have some Fun and meet up online

We could be in lockdown for months. If you are missing Bridge, then playing an online duplicate session with and against friendly players may satisfy your cravings.

I am planning to have Fun 2 Play online sessions on Bridge Base Online and (separately) some Play and Review sessions for groups of six people, where you bid and play and we review each hand.

If you are interested in either of these sessions, please take the following steps ...

1. Register on Bridge Base Online (BBO): https://www.bridgebase.com/v3/  To watch a video on how to register, go to: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9lOXJf9R9em-kAdxhUGxQniqZJm1PpCl, (just the first video)
    
2. Please select a user name that resembles your real name, so that other players can recognise you (so not "robinhood" or "donaldduck").  Your user name can be up to 10 characters and can include numbers. If you get a 'Not Available' message when you choose your user name, it means that it has already been taken. 
    
3. After registering, you will get an email from BBO asking you to confirm your email. Look out for that email, confirm your registration and make a note of your BBO user name and password (you can do save password, so that you don't need to enter it each time)
    
4. Log in to BBO with your user name and password, to make sure you can access the site.
    
5. Let me know your BBO user name, by clicking on the Bridge Base Online User Names option from the menu on the left of THIS website. 
   ** Please double check your user name is exactly as registered on BBO **

Once I receive your BBO user name, I will email you further information about a free practice teaching table session for newly registered players and the first free online gentle duplicate on Friday 3 April at 2pm.

Thank you... Meena

We are a gentle Duplicate club, based in Thames Ditton, Surrey.  This is the ideal club for Bridge players of all abilities who would like to try duplicate play and scoring with a fun and friendly like-minded group. 

Due to the accelerating spread of Covid-19, we have to unfortunately cancel Bridge sessions at Imber Court until further notice.

I hope that you, your loved ones and friends manage to avoid the more severe symptoms of Covid-19 in the weeks and months ahead, and that we are able to help and support those in need.

** Update:  We will be providing online Fun 2 Play Gentle duplicate sessions on Bridge Base Online as well as 'Play and Review' sessions - see box above **

For more information, please email fun2playbridge@outlook.com or phone 020 8339 0645 / 07740 053683
