| Return to F2F Bridge - Have your say |
|
16 July
With the ending of Covid restrictions some bridge clubs plan to return to F2F bridge as soon as next week. From those who completed our earlier survey indications are that a substantial number of members are keen to return to play at the club, so the committee are looking at what needs to be in place to do this safely.
The plan is to initially offer sessions on a Monday evening, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening from sometime in September.
To help further the plans it would be most helpful if as many members as possible (ALL MEMBERS would be great) would complete the survey below. It is very simple, only 4 questions and will take less than a minute to complete.

| Playing In The Virtual Club |
If you are missing playing bridge in the club atmosphere we encourage members, friends and partners to sign up for the two virtual club nights we are running on Monday and Wednesday evenings on BBO. BBO has practice areas to get used to playing on line and there are helpful videos available on our site on getting started. There is a WhatsApp group for support and finding a partner if you don't have one organised by Chris Griffin and also a partnership desk when signing into the virtual club night. If you are familiar with BBO but just need to know how to join a club night session, Colin or Linda can help.
A few requests for those already playing in the virtual club that will help to ensure the sessions run smoothly and any problems can be resolved by 7.15:
- Please have registered and be on line by 7.00. If you and your partner are not on line ready to play at 7.10 you may not get a game
- Please add your name to your profile so that friends can recognise who's who
- Please have your basic system on your profile
- Please ensure you SELF alert appropriately ie Benji, weak 2s, stayman, transfers etc etc
- Please keep an eye on the clock and try to ensure there is enough time to bid and play the hands

| Welcome to the Merseyside Bridge Centre |
Our Wirral based club, established in 1983, is conveniently located in Prenton, Mid Wirral, just 5 minutes drive from the M53. We play in the church hall of the Prenton Methodist Church, CH43 0RE (see the directions in Information on the left), which is situated in a very pleasant safe part of Prenton, with car parking on the church premises.
We play duplicate pairs bridge on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, plus Tuesday afternoon (see the Information link for more details and timings), with 12 or more tables for most sessions. We also have a Chicago session on Thursday afternoon.
Our aim is to play a good standard of bridge in a friendly atmosphere, and the club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union (EBU), with sessions directed according to the EBU rules. The club welcomes visitors whether you are an experienced player or would just like to improve, but is not suitable for a complete novice.
- We operate a standby system for the evening sessions, so that there is no need to arrange a partner in advance as you will always be guaranteed a game.
- Keen players will also be pleased that the club uses pre-dealt computer generated hands. The results are recorded on our website, so that you can see details of the hands , and how you did compared to the other pairs.
If you are interested in joining or want further information e-mail us on < admin@merseybridge.org.uk >
