| Origins and Policy ..... ! |
The North Cotswolds Bridge Club started in 1985, primarily to provide local learning and practice sessions - but always aspiring to keep a friendly, relaxed and sociable environment. Until his health drama of 2017, the host/teacher/proprietor (Alan Lamb) still felt relatively active, despite those dates (half my entire life!). The Club went 'full-time' in 1990, most sessions with an 'open' policy (no need to book in advance). 'Mixed ability' is a key description, and improvers are encouraged to any session that they can 'keep up' with, enjoy, benefit from, and feel comfortable at. More experienced players are welcome, provided that they themselves welcome - and encourage - improvers ! Please note that, after prolonged difficulties with the new EBU universal membership scheme, this Club disaffiliated in 2013. This does not affect the duplicate games at all, there's just no master points awarded for them ! 2018 was my year for convalesence and therapy, with just five regular Club sessions weekly (Tuesdays-Fridays), no more evenings, and considerable help from members, plenty for my stamina level. 2019 saw more recovery and continued help, thank you. We start 2020 with the same five sessions, but please watch for any alterations ..

| Beginners .. |
Any course for absolute beginners might - or might not - be possible upon the host's extended (second year's) recovery. Enquire to Alan, please.
Novices tend to do well at the coached morning sessions (currently on Wednesdays and Thursdays)
