Second were John Blakesley, Malcolm Orr-Ewing, Lawrence Wang & Tom Rainforth, so well done to them too. 

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 is currently walking the Pennine Way with 180 (!) of her friends, family and fellow OBC members – 260 miles and a combined ascent higher than Mount Everest – to raise awareness and funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Susan's current target is now £50,000. It would be fantastic if we fellow Bridge players could help her reach this. Thank you to all who have already 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. 

This year's Morrie Marsh Novice Pairs Competition will be held on Thursday 19th May at 7.15pm on RealBridge in place of the usual Learn & Play session. If you are a member of Oxford Bridge Club and have fewer than 200 masterpoints (below Club Master) and haven't previously won a club trophy then you are eligible to win the Morrie Marsh Trophy. Masterpoints will be awarded and the qualifying winners will not only win the trophy but have their names added to the club's Honours' board. For full competition rules click here. To book tickets please click here. 

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

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

In line with government advice, we are no longer expecting individuals to complete a negative LFT before coming to F2F play but obviously this would still be advisable if an individual has been in contact with someone with Covid. 

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.
