PAYMENTS

A reminder that to keep bank charges to a minimum we run a token system for members. Payment is preferably by bank transfer (see details below) or cash (notes only please). Costs are £20 for 5 tokens. The good news is that  due to the token system we made slightly more in interest than we paid in bank charges for the first time since charges were introduced.

Improvers

Tuesday sessions are aimed at easing our students into full Club play. As such, Improvers are "cut some slack". They cannot converse during bidding nor play but they are encouraged to discuss hands afterwards with everyone at the table. Mistakes are made and play is a little slower than usual. Please make allowances and enjoy the bridge.
