| Next NGS 4 or below and NGS 9 or Below events 2.30pm Saturday 15th August |
The NGS events have been split into two..... please click to enter the NGS 4 or below event, or click to enter the NGS 9 or below event on the National Grading Scheme (NGS) - on Wednesday before event. Both events start at 2.30pm.
You will then receive instructions on the morning of the event about how to join your chosen the event. It will be 18 boards long and will last about 2 hours 15 minutes. Masterpoints will be awarded and of course you may improve your NGS grade.
If you want more information about the event or want to play but do not have a partner please email KCBAEast@gmail.com.
Although we will make every effort to accomodate late entries, please enter by 8am Saturday 15th August if it is your first time in this event - your details need to be entered in the Kent Virtual club and your organisers are often playing in the 10am Kent duplicate. We will be charging BB$3 to compete in our event which is the minimum allowed by BBO and equates to about £2.50.

| Kent Events for New Players and Those Rated NGS 9 or Below |
Whilst we particularly want those who have learnt bridge in the last couple of years to play or those currently learning, these events are open to anyone of the appropriate grade.
The NGS4 & below event is a great opportunity to come and play bridge with new people outside of your club or class but of about the same standard as yourself.
If you do not know what your NGS grade is, you can find it on the English Bridge Union (EBU) website in ‘My EBU’. Alternatively you can email KCBAEast@gmail.com and we will let you know what it is. It is your grade on Wednesday before the event starts that will determine your eligibility but do not wait until then to find out your current grade.
The event will be held on Bridge Base Online (BBO). Click for details of how to obtain a free BBO Username. You can then practice a bit for free on BBO either with your partner or other friends or in ‘Solitaire’ games with robots so you are familiar with the interface.
