SUPERVISED REFRESH AND PRACTICE

This is a Supervised session at 10:30 am on Tuesday mornings. Led by our excellent teachers, it is aimed at refreshing your knowledge on a particular topic that you may find tricky or on which you may like to refresh your memory.

What a lovely note from ED SCERRI
What a lovely note from ED SCERRI

I was a little dubious about returning to face-to-face bridge, not only because of covid issues, but also because I dislike playing in games with small fields where boards are only played four or five times. I was very pleasantly surprised therefore when I showed up at Richmond on a Friday afternoon, and found eleven tables in play, a very pleasant atmosphere, and excellent covid protocols in place.

I congratulate Julia and the trustees on their efforts and hope that full confidence will soon return to those 'holding off' so that the club may return to full capacity.

I, for one, am looking for an excuse to make another trip to Richmond soon 😀. 

 All the best, Ed

UNDO POLICY

The club allows undo requests for genuine bidding mistakes made as a result of a mechanical error, not a lapse of concentration or forgetfulness, and only when the request is made prior to their partner's bid at the latest.  We do not allow undos for playing.

Any awkward exchanges should be referred to the director. 

Members are reminded that you can change your settings to ensure you double click to make a bid.
