Please note the speed limit on the roads around the bridge club is now 20 mph.
The following is our planned schedule of bridge sessions. Please check our website before venturing out or logging on.
September/October Bridge
We are continuing with the suspension of Tuesday and Wednesday evening sessions. Other than that, all face-to-face and online sessions will continue.
The face-to-face afternoon session on Monday 26th September will be run as a normal event, but it will also double up as the qualifying round for the Warwickshire Championship Pairs. If you score 50% of more, and have Warwickshire as your primary allegiance, you have the option to enter the final round on Sunday 5th February 2023 - to be played online (BBO).
Beginners and Improvers bridge sessions
There are still places on our weekly beginners' courses. There are two options: Monday evenings commencing 7pm 26th September; or Tuesday mornings commencing 10am 27th September. Weekly improvers' course commences 10.30am Wednesday 28th September. See our website for more details.
Tuesday afternoon bridge
It looks like we will have sufficient hosts to cover all Tuesday afternoon face-to-face sessions. So anyone without a partner can turn up and be guaranteed a game.
Please bear in mind that Tuesday afternoon is advertised as an improvers session. Everybody is welcome to attend, but bear in mind that more time is allocated for each round and a maximum of 24 boards will be played.
New alerting and announcing rules
The EBU have made a few changes to the alerting and announcing rules for face-to-face bridge. For the majority of you, there are only a couple of changes:
1) Partner no longer needs to announce a 2NT opener, as long as it is a strong balanced opener; eg. 20-22.
2) Currently you announce partner's 2D & 2H transfers over your 1NT opener; by saying 'hearts' & 'spades'. Some people also play 2S and 2NT as transfers to clubs and diamonds. If you play this, then you should now announce these as 'clubs' and 'diamonds'. If your 2S bid is a transfer to an unspecified minor (clubs or diamonds), then partner should alert.
The summary of alerting and announcing rules are:
Common mistakes in alerting & announcing
- 2C opener (very strong hand) - Do not announce. Alert it.
- 3 level preempt opener - Do not announce. Do not alert.
- Jump overcalls - Do not announce. Do not alert. Opponents can ask if they want to know if it is weak, intermediate or strong.
