Note emailed to membership 3rd June 2023

I write to you as the webmaster of the Staffs & Shrops Contract Bridge Association.

Some points of current interest:

• Thursday June 8th the County Mixed Pairs are being played face to face at Stafford Bridge club at 7 for 7:15 p.m.  The deadline for entry is June 5th and the event is limited to 10 tables, see https://www.bridgewebs.com/staffsshrops/Mixed%20Pairs%202023.htm
• Sunday July 9th Midlands Inter-County Mixed Teams (ie 2 mixed pairs) on RealBridge at 2 p.m.  see https://www.bridgewebs.com/staffsshrops/MCOL%20Mixed%20Teams%20Poster.htm
• Every Wednesday at 6:45 for 7 p.m. SSCBA online BBO bridge session.  This started during Covid, should it continue now that the clubs have opened back up? Use it or lose it.  Show your support by turning up at the table!  Please contact John Withers, jwithersx@gmail.com,  if you would like to join this group.
• Website Options: In January the membership list on the county website was updated as the list had not been updated for some years.  To take advantage of some the features offered to members on the website individuals need to select their preferred opt in/opt out requirements via the “Members Only” button (top right on the SSCBA home page https://www.bridgewebs.com/staffsshrops/) defaults today are generally “opt out”, historically they were opt in. 
  • To take advantage of the “Personal Analysis” feature I propose to set this generally to “opt in” unless individuals contact me before 15/06/2023 to exclude them personally since the information can already be seen in another format on the results pages.
  • The main items you might like to “opt in” to are showing your name and supplying your mobile phone number so other members could make contact with you, that is help create a members telephone directory.  If you need any help with this please contact me via webmaster.staffordbridgeclub@gmail.com.
