Scorers Comments

  ♠ FOULED BOARDS♠  

Please take care to put cards back in the correct position on the board.  ESPECIALLY if you take out cards when sit-out.

When there is a relay, NORTH at the table that PUTS on the relay chair/table
places boards at the bottom of the pile.
North at the table that COLLECTS from the relay
​​​​​​​takes from the top and ensures board is facing correct direction!

ALWAYS check on Bridgemate you have correct boards and people, that the boards face correct way before taking out cards, then count cards face down.

Any mistakes - no problem, we are all human, but call the director and/or scorer to come and put things right.  The Scorer can sort switched boards or fouled boards.  The director can sort missing cards etc...

A quick guide to signing up for the various jobs that make Langham Bridge Club run smoothly!
1) Click on 'Rota sign-up' on the green menu bar (see left).
2) Under the heading 'calendar' you will see the top banner with the current Month and year in the middle.  There are blue arrows on the left (the horizontal left arrow takes you back a month) and on the right (the horizontal right arrow moves you on to the next month).  So choose which month you want to volunteer for first.
3) Then hover your mouse over the week you want to sign up for.  A drop down menu appears.
4) Click on 'Open/Close Wanted'.  A drop down menu appears.
5) Enter your name (eg: John Smith), and click 'Check'
6) Another menu appears showing what you have entered, click 'Accept'.
7) then repeat for the next week you want to enter!

Don't worry if you make a mistake or want to change your week - just contact Emma or Simon to make amendments!
The menu only accepts one name though we know you are working as a pair to open and close.
