We’re delighted to give you the good news that you and a partner can now play in a club event with one or both of two local virtual bridge clubs set up in response to the lockdown.

The first of these is 1066 Virtual Bridge Club, which is being run by Brian Gould, initially for members of St Leonard’s, East Sussex and Bexhill clubs but with Tenterden members welcome. 1066 is playing on Tuesday evenings at 7pm and on Thursday afternoons at 1.30pm.

The second, Weald of Kent Bridge on Line, is being run by Val Golding and Derek Patterson with members of Tenterden, Hawkhurst and Pembury invited to join them. They play at 1.30pm every Wednesday afternoon.  

To play with either 1066 or WoK you will first need to register with Bridge Base Online, a US company who is working with the EBU in setting up virtual clubs.  Registering to play through BBO is easily done at www.bridgebase.com.
