Real Bridge Friday Pairs 2:15 pm

Every Friday in January at 2:15 pm, we are holding free Real Bridge taster sessions for members to play on this new platform. Initially, no EBU Master Points will be awarded and so it will be a friendly event for members to try Real Bridge without any pressure. Real Bridge is the closest online bridge experience to live bridge - with video and audio (chat) between players.

Email us if you're interested in playing and we'll send you a link. The event will be open from early Friday morning but please join no later than 1:45 pm.
