| WSBC online |
Although our Club premises remain closed, WSBC is offering online bridge through a partnership with Avenue and Lewes Clubs. Three weekly sessions are available, on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday evenings and Thursday afternoons. These sessions have proved very popular to many of our members, including some to whom online bridge has been a new experience. If you have not yet tried playing in this medium, we would encourage you to give it a try. The first step is to contact Hazel (secretary@westsussexbc.co.uk).
WSBC has also started playing its popular Pairs League online. The current league runs on the first Monday of each month until January and will be followed by a second series. We are also looking to provide other online bridge events so keep a look out for these via our website or email.
In the interim, we will continue to be in weekly contact by email with all our members with club news and the intriguing and informative bridge teasers.
Stay well and keep in touch.

| Passing of Ian Watt |
I am sorry to announce the passing of Ian Watt, who many of you will remember playing with me from the time he joined the club in the 1980s on his return to this country having worked for some years in Japan for Upjohn, the pharmaceutical company, we first met when Ian was receiving dental treatment from my wife and asked her who was responsible for the bridge magazines in the waiting room, and our partnership was formed. I have played with Ian at least once a month since that time until the club was forced to close by the virus. I know Ian played bridge at university and picked up the Precision Club system during his stay in Japan where he played it with some of the then Japanese ladies team. In all the time I played with him he never criticised my awful play no matter how much it deserved it, and I can honestly say with his demise that not only the club but the world has lost a true gentleman.
Norman Hardy
Ian passed on Thursday 19 November 2020.
