| News From The Chairman |
Playing Bridge in a Covid World
The last year has certainly seen a seismic change in the way Bridge has been played throughout the world. We at Sarum have joined with many other clubs to take our play on line.
Naturally some members have not wished to play via a screen but we have managed to run two sessions each week for the past year. I feel very strongly that this has enabled members to still feel part of our bridge community and for many of us it helped us through the dark days of lockdown. All those who did dip their toes into the digital waters have now become very familiar with it and genuinely look forward to playing.
Like the rest of the Bridge world, we are uncertain when we will be able to reopen for face to face play. There are many issues to clarify before this can happen with safety being the overriding one, of course. But patience is the name of the game and we live in hope that we will be playing again together before too much longer.
If you are new to the area and are interested in either learning or playing Bridge, then please do contact me or any committee member. Our contact numbers can be found in the Information section of the web site.
My best wishes to you all,
Fiona. (Chair)

Hi All
The Friday 7.15pm Online Game has now been going for over 6 months and continues to attract an average of 10 Pairs which is a good number, but we would love to get that up to 20 pairs to make it even more competitive.
We started the Wednesday 2pm Relaxed Social Game (No masterpoints or NGS) on 23rd September and regularly attrcts over 10 pairs.
Hope to see you online soon
