Table money will be £6, playing 20 or 24 boards and offering coffee, tea and biscuits. Initially, John will not have machine pre-dealt boards and hand records, but would look to move in that direction if the sessions prove to be a success. Brian Bridge will be used for scoring, presently the hall does not have WiFi, so players are asked to use their own internet connection.
If you come without a partner John will partner you up or play himself. Everybody will get a game. Winners will get a free game on their next visit.
John would like an idea of numbers before the event, so please let him know, by email to: johnfk9@hotmail.com ans arrive by 5.45 pm.
