| Trial NGS Below 8 Graded Gentle Competitive Session |
On Monday 28th September 1845 for 1900, there will be a FREE session for those interested in hearing about EBU grading. The first 15-20 minutes will be an explanation of what EBU grading is about (you can also find an explanation by clicking here), why members might be interested and what the day/time options are going forward. We will then have an 18 Board session, which will be graded assuming more than 12 players. You must come with a partner. This is a trial only and members must not assume that monday nights will be the day/time going forward. No need to reserve a place.

| Monday Mornings - Social learning |
The Monday morning session is 'Bid and Discuss' - a comparison of bidding and play to other club members who played the same hands in a previous session. Discussion during and after bidding and play is encouraged.
Each table sets its own pace. No booking is required, the session is hosted so you can come without a partner, though partnerships are preferred. The table fee will be £3.
