| LARKHILL BRIDGE CLUB |
 |
Started in May 2010 our intention was to encourage novice players and lapsed players to join more seasoned players in taking part in friendly, duplicate bridge.
We regret there is no more face to face at the Larkhill Centre and recommend you to join us via RealBridge on Thursdays and Fridays to continue playing with friends from Larkhill.
Membership is once again open with a few places available and and plenty of room for Associates to apply for registration to play in our Friday Club with a small online playing fee.
Visitors who register are welcome to play on Fridays which we run on RealBridge and pay through our kitty system.
Visitors may play online on Thursdays for £3 provided they have completed our registration form and been accepted.

AT THE AGM MEETING A DECISION WAS TAKEN FOR THE CLUB TO TAKE UP THE EBU'S OFFER OF A FREE TRIAL TO AFFILIATE TO ASSESS IF THIS IS BENEFICIAL TO THE CLUB AND ITS MEMBERS.
A FURTHER RESOLUTION WAS TAKEN TO ALLOW ALL ASSOCIATES TO PLAY ON THURSDAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT AND JOIN AS FULL MEMBERS FROM 1ST JANUARY WHEN RENEWALS WILL BE DUE.

| BEST BEHAVIOUR AT BRIDGE |
 |
* GREET OTHERS IN A FRIENDLY MANNER, PRIOR TO START OF PLAY ON EACH ROUND
* BE A GOOD "HOST" OR "GUEST" AT THE TABLE
* MAKE BRIDGE ENJOYABLE FOR YOURSELF WITHOUT CRITICIZING PARTNER OR OPPONENTS
* GIVE CREDIT WHEN OPPONENTS MAKE A GOOD BID OR PLAY
* TAKE CARE OF YOUR PERSONAL GROOMING
* AVOID INQUESTS PARTICULARLY DUE TO THE NOISE LEVEL IT CREATES
* ENSURE THAT YOUR MOBILE PHONE IS ON SILENT
* ENJOY THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE GAME
