| ANDREW ROBSON BRIDGE STORE |
From Peter Baines (peter.baines75@gmail.com)
For those of you who may be interested in self-help, finding out more about our great game, that is one for life- long learning and enjoyment, there is still time to order from the Andrew Robson Bridge Store in time for Christmas! There’s more! I get a discount of 30% off the listed prices! I place the group order, pay and deliver to you, you reimburse me. As you see on-line there are booklets, ALL either new or updated in 2024 and hard-backed books at progressing levels. The booklets start with Beginners Bridge at £8.00 and then there are 21 Bridge lesson booklets. There is a boxed set of 20 for £100.00. Singles (assuming we order 10!) £5.00 if not they aren£6.00. Forcing or Non-Forcing at £6.00 is not part of the 20 pack but anyone taking the 20 should add! (I have 2 orders for the 20).
The books and booklets are in line with our year 1 and 2 lessons and suitable for all and in particular those who wish to continue to learn. It is MODERN ACOL. The books start with:
Bridge: What Should Have Happened (2-5-1 hands!) £14, then moves through to
Bridge: A pack of Do’s and Don’ts £13,
Tips for Intermediates, £14, to the Next Level £15,
To the brilliant and more challenging Andrew Robson’s Top Tens - 4 sections:
A) Bidding B) Declarer C) Defence D) Top 10 Conventions. Each section has 10 sub- sections and a Quiz! £17.50.
So, when asked “what would like for Christmas“ forget the new jumper and give Andrew Robson’s expertly written bridge lessons and books a try.
Need help deciding where to start or how best add to what you have or to order, please contact Peter Baines 07774 891669 peter.baines75@gmail.com
For Christmas order by 12pm Wednesday 17 December please. For later I can always place another order.

| NEW GENTLE DUPLICATE BRIDGE (GDB) |
Rugby Bridge Club is pleased to inform our members that we are now including a new session into our weekly timetable. We all understand that transitioning to main club sessions can be daunting and this is where Gentle Duplicate Bridge (GDB) can help. Not only in assisting with bidding and card play, but also in understanding the etiquette and laws of game play. It is a recognized method used by the EBU and other Clubs.
Venue: at Dunchurch Sports and Village Hall
Day /Time: Tuesdays 10 am to 12:00 noon
Start Date: 2nd September 2025
How will the session be conducted to support you? The aim is for each table to have a mentor assisting the players and is very much targeted at those players transitioning from the classroom and/or those that appreciate the opportunity to have guidance whilst playing. It will be a 12-board session.
How to book in? Our first session will start on Tuesday the 2nd September and we ask members to book in as you would normally do for a club session. If you do not have a partner, that is not a problem, just book in as a single and a partner will be found or a mentor will partner you.
We do hope that you will support this very valuable addition to our club timetable.
