| JULY 2021 UPDATE |
The Committee is considering options for going back to playing face-to-face and emails/letters have been sent to all Members asking for their views. If you haven't already received an email (or a letter by 19th July) please contact Paul at secretarywfbc@gmail.com. We'd also be interested to hear views from anyone who is thinking about joining us, either to play online or face-to-face.

| ONLINE BRIDGE - WFBC ON BRIDGE CLUB LIVE |
 |
We are currently playing bridge online in the Social Room of Bridge Club Live at 7pm on Monday and Thursday evenings. It is relaxed and friendly bridge, outside the NGS and Masterpoint regimes. The Secretary organises tables for each evening. The Club doesn't charge, so the only cost is Social membership of Bridge Club Live. A 50 day free trial is available for EBU members and if you and a partner would like to try it out please contact Paul Hickson at secretarywfbc@gmail.com for more details. Partners can sometimes be found.
Click here for a link to the Bridge Club Live home page where you will be able to find more information.

| "EBU BEST BEHAVIOUR AT BRIDGE" |
Most of these Guidelines of course apply to Online Bridge as much as to Face to Face Bridge..........:
-
DO greet others in a friendly way before starting play
-
DO be a good 'host' or 'guest' at the table
-
DO try to make bridge enjoyable for yourself, your partner and your opponents
-
DO give credit when partner or opponents make a good bid or play
-
DO take care of your personal grooming
-
DO ensure that your mobile phone is turned off
-
DO enjoy the company as well as the game
-
DO be polite at the table and don't gloat over good results
-
DON'T criticise your partner or opponents at the table

| Setting Up |
|
When we are back playing at the Walthamstow Hub, if anyone is able to get to there a bit early on Mondays and Thursdays to help with setting up tables and getting everything ready for a prompt start it would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
