| Beginner's Lessons 2021 - 2022 |
 |
We still have places available to learn this fascinating game
We teach the English Bridge Union recommended courses and Sarah will be kicking this off, as one of our EBU qualified teachers.
We aim to make the lessons enjoyable and informative.
1. Beginners/1st year course – 30 weeks spread between September and May
Start date: Wednesday 22nd September 2021 start time 10:30 - 12:30
This course is designed to introduce the game of bridge to people who have never played it before, those who have never played any card game before..
By the end of the 3rd term students will have been taught all the basics and will be able to play social bridge, go on bridge holidays and weekends or move through to assisted play sessions at the club in readiness for playing in duplicate bridge sessions in the Club – starting with the easy sessions specially provided for beginners and novices.
Cost: Fees £100 per term + £25 for the coursebook.

| Club reopening |
Remember to send/bring double jab confirmation if it's the first session at the club that you have attended this year.
We want to be able to run every face-to-face session we did prior to the lockdown and two online sessions. However, with the limited number of TDs, we may struggle to run every session every week. Before you venture out, please check our website to see if the session is running. In the first few weeks, we plan to run every session except the Monday evening assisted play.
Normal weekly schedule is:
Monday morning 10am - Assisted play (previously called supervised play)
Monday afternoon 1.30pm - Duplicate bridge
Tuesday afternoon 1.30pm - Gentler session
Tuesday afternoon 1.30pm - Online bridge
Tuesday evening 7pm - Duplicate bridge
Wednesday afternoon 2pm - Assisted play
Wednesday evening 7pm - Duplicate bridge
Thursday morning 10am - Online bridge
Thursday afternoon 1.30pm - Duplicate bridge
Thursday evening 7pm - Duplicate bridge
Friday evening 7pm - Gentler session
Saturday afternoon 1.30pm - Duplicate bridge
Please be seated and ready to play 10 minutes before the start time of the session.
Safety measures
We will have the following safety measures in place. Between now and reopening we will keep these measures under review in the light of any changes there may be to government guidance and English Bridge Union policy.
1. Doubly vaccinated
Attendees must have had both vaccination doses at least two weeks prior to attending (unless medically exempt), and this will be verified on arrival at the club.
To streamline this process, we would like as many of you as possible to show us your proof of vaccination in advance, so we can record your eligibility to attend bridge club events. We will accept any of the following:
a) NHS App Immunisations record (mobile phone page or computer screenshot).
b) NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Record letter.
c) The completed record card you received at your vaccinations.
Thank you for those who have already sent proof. Please bear in mind that the proof needs to show both your vaccinations and your name. If you use the NHS App, select 'Get your COVID Pass', 'Travel', 'Receive an offline copy by email'.
The club will use this information solely for the purpose of verifying that you are eligible to attend. It will not be shared with members generally.
2. Illness and self-isolation
Any player showing signs of illness (COVID or non-COVID) should not attend - you will be asked to leave, unless the symptoms are related to a non-contagious medical issue; such as hay fever or asthma.
You should not attend, if you have been asked to self-isolate via the NHS App or the Test & Trace team, until the isolation period has expired.
3. Card payments by debit card
We have installed a card payment machine. Payment by debit card is preferred, as the cost to the club is lower than credit cards. On your first session back, please arrive early to be shown how the card payment system works.
4. Ventilation
As per the recent Health & Safety Executive advice, we will have doors/windows open in all sessions. You may want to bring some extra layers.
5. Sanitising
There will be anti-bacterial hand gel at all side tables and at the entrance. We recommend frequent use.
6. Bidding boxes
Each bidding box should be used by one player for the whole bridge session. At the end of the bridge session, players should use the hand wipes to wipe down their boxes before leaving.
7. Face masks
Face masks are not required. It will be a personal choice if players want to wear them.
8. Refreshments
Tea, coffee and water will be available. To limit crowding, initially, there will be no formal coffee breaks. Players will be free to get their own coffee throughout the session. Please take your cups/glasses back to the trays/kitchen after use.
