| BRUSH UP ON YOUR BRIDGE |
We're now running an extra session on Friday afternoons, starting at 1.15. It’s aimed at players who haven’t played (much) bridge for quite a while, and people newer to bridge altogether.
With others to play with & against, and a few more experienced players on hand to advise, you’ll have a chance to practice bidding and playing in a duplicate session. We can start as gently as you want, then gradually build up to real session play, at normal playing speeds. We’re also looking for more experienced volunteers to assist, and players at other levels to join us as partners and opponents. Whatever your ability, there could be a role for you.
Please let us know if you’d like to come along and take part. You can ring Chris on 07960 245 440, email originalcheshirecat1987@yahoo.co.uk or complete the form below.

| SUNDAY MORNING BRIDGE ON BBO |
Over the past few weeks, attendances have dropped which means that the session is not viable to run.
A number of players have been on holiday and bridge weekends and holidays have also resumed.
We have therefore reluctantly decided to cancel the Sunday morning sessions for the next few weeks.
If we can guarantee enough players to make the session viable we will reintroduce it later in the year.

We have merged our Monday afternoon session (and adding a Tuesday session), working together with the Adam Wiseberg Bridge Club.
These sessions will start at 2 pm and players are most welcome to join.
Follow this link below and it will take you to Adam's site - all our members who have been playing there on Monday
afternoons have said how enjoyable it has been.
The Ten High Session will be reintroduced in a few weeks on a different day. Details when finalised.
There are instructions on Adam's site on how to pay for these sessions.
If you have any difficulties, speak to Adam at the start of the session and he'll help you.
