| BBO workshop |
To All Members of the ClontarfArea Virtual Bridge Clubs
We are planning to run a couple of BBO workshops using Zoom. We are looking for your views on this. They would be aimed at people who are familiar with playing on BBO but feel they might benefit from increasing their breath and depth of knowledge, covering topics such as alerting, the does and don’ts of using chat, calling the director and claiming, to mention just a few.
First and foremost, would you be interested in attending such a session?
For those who are, would you prefer a weekend session or an afternoon session during the week.
What duration would you prefer?
While we obviously have some ideas of our own as to topics which should be covered, we would be very interested indeed to hear your views and requirements.
Please send your replies to: stgabrielbc@gmail.com or via the club's WhatsAPP
We will decide how to proceed when we have compiled your responses.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
