| No sessions at PBC until the New Year |
In view of the recent developments with Covid and the changing government advice, we have decided to suspend all face to face bridge at the club with immediate effect. We hope to start again early in the new year depending on how the situation and advice changes. In the meantime our Friday night Realbridge will continue (except for Christmas Eve) - do join us for that. There is also a full programme of online bridge available to PBC members through LCBA's Online Partnership (LOP).
As soon as we make any further decisions we will email everyone and update the website.

| Support Preston Bridge Club |
Now that we have returned to face to face bridge it is obvious that it will be some time before there is a return to anything close to the pre-pandemic levels of face to face bridge. In fact it seems likely that there will be a very significant fall in numbers on a permanent basis.
If the club is to survive we need the support of members, there are several ways you can help.
The first is to return to face to face bridge although I appreciate that not everyone is ready for that.
The second is if you are playing online bridge please participate in the Preston sessions currently Friday night RealBridge.
The third is that if you are playing other online bridge please participate in the Lancashire online Pairs sessions see both our website and the Lancashire website. These provide several sessions a week for all abilities and table money after expenses goes to the club.
No other online bridge benefits the club, we do need your help.
