As the lessons draw to a close and duplicate bridge takes off we have been inundated with plaudits for the work of the team who have made 'Virtual Tudor Bridge Club' such a success and asked to give a public vote of thanks for all the effort it has taken to get Tudor to this point.  

To the Directors who have put themselves through training and given up playing with their regular partners just so that we can enjoy our game - thank you.  To those who have put together the lessons twice a week, given the lessons and then overseen the students' practice - thank you.  For the team who spend so much time every week managing the monies and organising the mentoring rota - thank you.  To the experienced players who help our students practice and take time to give feedback - thank you.

Tudor is a very special club and means a great deal to many of us.  During these uncertain times this small team have provided us all with a wonderful way to stay in contact and keep playing our game.  Aren't we lucky to be members of this club whilst so many others have struggled?

Thank you - from everyone.

The final match of 2019/20 has now been completed, online.  The Wotton team prevailed, narrowly, over a spirited Tudor Team, consisting of Karen Monaghan, Paul Gunning, Maureen Gale and Alan Birch.  Well done Wotton.

The results have now been published and I am very proud to declare Tudor were the Champions this season.  Click here to see the final results.

Well done Tudor.  We are now looking forward to the new season beginning in October. This time probably all matches will be played online.

Play starts 2.30 p.m.  Please register between 12.30 p.m. and 2.15p.m. and make sure both you and your partner are online at 2.20 p.m. and in the 'Free Tournaments' section of the website.  For a screen by screen guide on registering for the Tournament please click here.  If you have any problems registering for the competition please feel free to call Karen, Nigel or Christine.

Competitions start at 7.15 p.m.  Registration can take place from 5.15 pm. To register, both Partners need to be on line at the same time. The competition will be found in the 'All tournaments' area, not the 'Free tournaments' area as is the case on a Wednesday afternoon.  Here is a screen by screen synopsis of the Registration process, (click here).  If you lose connection the Director will wait for you for 3 minutes or so, after which you may be substituted temporarily until you can log back in again. You will then be returned to your seat.

Finally, please make sure you are both online at 7 p.m. and in the 'All Tournaments' area of the site as you cannot be 'seen' if you are elsewhere and so won't be able to play.  

We say 'welcome'. 

We have extended a warm welcome to all our friends at Wotton Bridge Club who are coming to play with us on BBO.  Several have already taken us up on the offer and we sincerely hope more will follow.  Welcome aboard 'Wottoners'!
