| Future bridge at Harlow Knights |
Many members took part in the recent consultation about the format of bridge for the future at Harlow Knights. The response rate was over 85% which was fantastic - many thanks to those who took part. These were the key points -
- 62% of first preferences were to stay online
- 21% of first preferences were the hybrid approach (f2f once a month, remainder online)
- 17% of first preferences were for face to face
- 25 people gave only one choice, and 19 of those chose online
- 13 people explicitly said they would not or probably would not play f2f
It is clear that the strong preference for most of our membership is for all sessions to stay online, with an absolute majority for this, and we will therefore be continuing with this going forward. That's not to say we will never return to face to face, we will keep it under review as circumstances change.
