"You really smashed it on a wet weekend in Nottingham!" Tom Cohen

"Just wanted to say thank you for an awesome few days, Oli. My best bridge experience so far" Magnus Spence-Jones

"Thank you for a lovely weekend. I appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into it and I can't wait for the next one." Rosalind Simpson

"Fantastic congresses - friendly, great value, well organised (not just in terms of bridge but the social aspect). A template of how F2F bridge should be." Croz Crozwell

"Oli is at the forefront of face to face bridge in the UK. These events embody all of the aspects we were missing during lockdown, great social and a decent game of bridge." James Thrower

"Fantastic congress and hospitality - sociable F2F bridge doesn't get much better!" Athena Chow

"I have played a number of events and to be frank this one was one of the best ones I have been to. I thought the atmosphere was great- very relaxed without too many miserable players😀😀" Sally Young

"I greatly enjoyed the weekend & thought it was superbly run by yourself & the other team. The venue was excellent &, to be totally honest- it was the least 'stuffy' & 'friendliest' Congress which I've attended personally." Mark Mortimer
