We have had some sad news about two of our members.

Jack Smith, who regularly played with Arthur Barrow on Tuesday afternoons, recently passed away, a few days before his 96th birthday.

Our thoughts and sympathies go to Jack's family and the Club will make a donation to the family's chosen charity.

We've also heard that Tony Mortimer has recently passed away.  Although he hasn't played at the club for a few years due to ill health, many members will remember him. Again, our sympathies go to his family.

Our Virtual Bridge Club between Stretford and our friends at Brierfield and Warrington Clubs is now in full swing.  The results from the latest session and details of our future sessions can be found on the right.

We have the following regular sessions:

Fridays     19:30    21 boards -  8 mins per board.

Sundays   11:00    16 boards -  9 mins per board.

Mondays  13:30    16 boards -  9 mins per board.

Mondays  19:30    21 boards -  8 mins per board.

Extra sessions can be added if there is demand.  We will be recreating our Friday afternoon supervised session on Saturday mornings in the near future.

Sessions will be charged at £2.50 per session per player and we will bill you for your sessions played at the end of each month.

Existing Members of Stretford Bridge Club will this week receive information about an allocation of free games for each member.

Members of other local bridge clubs are more than welcome to become members of our club for the duration of the Virtual Club at a reduced membership rate and pay the standard session charge for each game, billed monthly.  

Alternatively, visitors who are not members can pay the Guest Fee of £5 per session before any match.  You have to register beforehand to play in any sessions.  

When you join, you'll be sent a full guide on how to do this.  As part of this, we will need your BBO log-in and EBU number.  If you are not an EBU member, you will be registered with the EBU for the duration of the Club.  

Important point: If you have not yet played in the Club, you MUST let us know the BBO logins of yourself and your partner in advance, otherwise, you won't be able to register to take part.  

Email the Club stretfordbridge@gmail.com or Dave Tilley with your details.

So far we've had good table numbers for each session.  Come and play!

The Club has experienced mentors Richard Aubery, Chris Collison and Frank Eade who will guide you through your first steps online and show you how to get yourself set up.  It isn't hard (really, it isn't!) and you will be up and running quickly and back playing with your chums, as well as making new friends.

Richard Aubery may be able to help you find a partner if you need one.

We look forward to seeing you!   ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣
