Oxford Bridge School is delighted to welcome back Michael Byrne on Saturday 27th March to present two online seminars. Many of you will have attended one of Michael’s previous seminars, so will know how entertaining and enjoyable these sessions are.
Michael will be running a morning session which is open to all but is particularly suitable for NGS 8 to Queen players, and an afternoon session most suitable for NGS Jack and above.

| Hosting on Friday mornings |
We're pleased to announce that we're introducing a hosting system for Friday mornings, with the first hosted session being on Friday 5th February. This means that you can play even though you don't have a partner. If you would like to use the host system please book and pay for your place in advance as usual, and join the RealBridge session by at least 9.45am. When you reach the lobby, send a chat message to the director to say that you're looking for a partner.
Thank you to those who have volunteered to host.

HELP FOR THOSE THAT NEED IT
This is a busy and difficult time for us all. Our priorities must reflect the need to look after the health and wellbeing of each other and do what we can to avoid spreading the virus.
We have set up a page in the “Members Only” section of the website to help those who are obliged to self-isolate and to enable those who are able and willing to help in some way to register their details and how they can help. The members only section avoids individuals disclosing personal contact information on an open website. Here is the direct link.
If you have not visited the “Members Only” section before, here’s what you have to do.
Click on the  button in the top right corner of the home page and follow the instructions.
If you are not in one of the “at-risk” categories and your circumstances permit and you feel able, please sign up to help others. Offers of support will be much appreciated by everyone.
