Oxford Bridge School is offering a 4-week course at the club for anyone who has played little or no bridge since the COVID pandemic and wants a reminder about the equipment, bridge movements and laws involved in a duplicate session, together with a review of ACOL basics. Each session lasts approximately two hours and is split equally between teaching and practice. The course will run twice – on Thursday mornings in June/July and again on Wednesday evenings in July/August. The cost is just £20 per person per four-session course, which must be pre-booked, or £6 per player for a single drop-in session (not pre-bookable). To go to the booking page please click here. 

ALL Thursday evening Learn & Play sessions will be back at the club from Thursday 2nd June (7.15pm start but arrive before 7pm to get seated). There is no option to book – just turn up at the club. Payment (£4.50) will be taken by credit/debit card. 

There is no change to online Wednesday morning Learn & Play – to book please click here. 

Many congratulations to Stephen and Diana Bromley who are the qualifying winners of this year's Morrie Marsh Novice Pairs Competition. They win the Morrie Marsh trophy which will be formally awarded at the club's AGM in July. Well done to everyone who took part in the competition.

Many of you know Susan Fletcher who plays and directs at the club, and was Education Secretary until her diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease last July. Susan has completed walking the Pennine Way with 184 (!) of her friends, family and fellow OBC members – 268 miles and a combined ascent higher than Mount Everest – to raise awareness and funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Susan has now raised over £56,000 via her JustGiving page and over £76,000 in total! Thank you to everyone who has donated. You can read Susan's story and make a donation at the following link – https://justgiving.com/fundraising/susan-fletcher-watts.

As you know, the table money for club sessions has recently increased by 50p. From 1st June we will be also increasing the table money for Learn & Play by 50p to £4.50. We believe this still offers very good value for money. If you would like to book an online Learn & Play session please click here. For club sessions (first Thursday evening of month) just turn up at the club. 

We are playing face-to-face (F2F) bridge sessions at the clubhouse on Tuesday and Friday mornings. 

These are hybrid sessions with two sections playing the same set of hands - one section playing at the club, and the other online, on RealBridge.

Additionally, Thursday evening Learn & Play sessions are also at the clubhouse. Click here for more information about Learn & Play sessions. 

There's no need to prebook F2F sessions - just turn up. All sessions are hosted, so you can come along without a partner. Visitors are very welcome. 

There's no requirement to wear a facemask whilst you are on the club premises, though you may do so if you wish. 

For more information about the precautions that we are taking against Covid please click here. 

If you are having trouble with sound or connections on your iPad or Mac when using RealBridge, particularly if you have recently upgraded to iOS 15, this guidance may help you to fix the problem.
