The online ABCOL playing sessions which are now well established are aimed at ABC/Improvers plus anyone else who would like to join in. The new Graduates have also begun to to play in these. They are being run by John Harland and Richard Bungey plus various helpers at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday and at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday. There is now F2F bridge at Chieveley at 1.30 p.m. on Thursday and the Thursday ABCOL session has ben discontinued.
There is an Improvers/Graduates session on Friday at 7.15. p.m. On the last Friday of the month there is a 'Relaxed Virtual Club' session (no Zoom) for the Improvers,
There is also a supervised play session on Monday at 2.30. p.m. where hands are discussed immediately after they are bid and played which is open to all.

| Rubber Bridge |
The Rubber Bridge sessions on Wednesday evenings are now well established and proving increasingly popular.
The level of technology required to join in is very low and Richard and John are very keen to assist anyone wanting help to get started.
If you are interested in getting involved or want to know more, please contact Richard or John even if you are unable to play on Wednesdays, but would like to join if other days became available. Non-members are welcome to come along for free “taster” sessions, but will be asked to join the club by paying the club subscription if they enjoy it and want to continue in the longer term. Please note, that as we are not actually meeting face to face, we are unable to provide prizes!
