Thursday's Supervised Bridge

What started out slowly as an experiment to improve all levels of players, quickly grew into a staple of a lot of player's weekly routines.

From 10:00 to 12:00, anywhere from 12 to 25 tables get supervised from some of JHB's top players. 

The Links owes a debt of gratitude to all of the valuable supervisors, without whom this popular session wouldn't be possible:
