| 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.

| WSBC Bournemouth Bridge Holiday 9-12 February |
Despite Storm Ciara, everyone participating in the WSBC bridge holiday braved the elements on Sunday February 9th and arrived safely at the Hotel Miramar in Bournemouth. They were rewarded with a warm welcome from the hotel staff who once again provided excellent service and wonderful food. The winds abated over the next 3 days and sea air and sunshine were appreciated by many.
The 5 bridge sessions were brilliantly directed by Graham & Berry Hedley whose charm, flair and friendliness is unsurpassed. Neil Watts and Graham combined their talents to give 2 morning seminars which were not only very informative but exceedingly entertaining. Thanks must also go to Brian Kirkdale whose IT expertise helped enormously with the scoring.
