The North Cotswolds Bridge Club started in 1985, primarily to provide local learning and practice sessions - but always aspiring to preserve a friendly, relaxed and sociable environment. Until his health drama of 2017, the host/teacher (Alan Lamb) still felt relatively active, despite those dates. 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 the Club disaffiliated from the EBU 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, and no more evenings, but with considerable help from members. 2019 saw more recovery and continued help, thank you. I don't need to mention 2020/21, do I ?? We all missed each other so much.
