| Virtual Llandudno Pairs Weekend GP Event |
The annual Green Point Pairs event is being held online this year on 4th and 5th July 2020. Get the ice cream out of the freezer at half time instead of buying it on the sea front and listen to the pigeons in your back garden rather than the seagulls being raucous over the sea.
See the North Wales site for details.

| Online Bridge |
The EBU now run five 12-board games on BBO every day, all of which give master points and are processed for the NGS. The "Fast Game at High Noon" is played at 5 minutes a board for those who like to play faster than our usual games. The remaining games are played at a gentler 7 minutes a board and start at 2pm, 3:30pm, 7:30pm and 9pm. They cost $1.50, of which 50c per game will go to a fund for our clubs. They intend to use this to reduce the affiliation fees when they become due in August. Players should note that buying BB$ through an app using Apple or Google incurs a surcharge, so it is cheaper to buy them directly from Bridgebase in a web browser.
