| Online Bridge Club |
Many of you will know Jeremy Stanforth who as well as being a Preston member is secretary of Lytham Bridge club. He produced some information for Lancashire on setting up a virtual bridge club. This contains some good information about setting up and directing sessions. At some stage Preston may be looking for people to run sessions on BBO. I will elaborate more by email but in the meantime this is an interesting and informative read. Please click this box to read Jeremy's notes.

| Coronavirus 12th March 2020 |
The trustees have taken the decision to close the club with immediate effect.
We consider that the age profile of the club is such that we are likely to have many members who are amongst the most at risk and we do not know how many of our members have underlying conditions which would enhance that risk.
We believe that we cannot take chances with the health and wellbeing of our members
This game of ours could be custom designed for spreading infection and it is difficult to see how we could safely continue.
As the situation develops we will update our web pages please watch this site for any further news.
Please ignore the calendar for now we may not have altered every entry
