Wednesdays and Thursdays
Starting on Wednesday 24th February, the committee have decided to run a 10 week trial, opening on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays.
The following will apply during that period:
- There will be no bridge on Thursdays during that period (i.e. the last Thursday's bridge will be on 18th Feb).
- The bridge will be duplicate pairs.
- A free game voucher will be issued to the winners before handicap.
- There will be a spare person available if you need a partner.
After the trial period, the committee will decide on whether to stick to Wednesdays in future or go back to playing on Thursdays.

Calendar of Events 2010
A calendar of events for 2010 has now been issued by Mike Short. To see what is coming up in 2010, please click on the
Calendar of Events tab on the above menu.
Please note that the trophies for 2009 have now been engraved (there was a problem with the supplier which delayed
getting them ready for the Christmas party). Gareth will be announcing shortly when the presentation will be made.

Masterpoints and Internet Connection
Masterpoints issued by the bridge scoring software since last May have now been uploaded to the EBU and now that the club has got an
internet connection they should be uploaded regularly.
Please note: the club will stop issuing paper masterpoints from the end of March, because the EBU will no longer accept
them. This is particularly relevant to Fridays, and the club will have to issue them electronically.
In addition, the Director can now upload results on the night, so with any luck you can view the results on our website by the time you get home.

Monday nights
The club can only physically accommodate 16 and a half tables, which has already been reached on a Monday on more than one occasion.
If more players than that turn up, the club regrets that it has no option but to turn away those players that cannot find a table to play at.
Therefore, in order to avoid disappointment, please ensure that you turn up in plenty of time to find a place (we recommend by 7.15pm), or ring
the club (0117 942 9893) after 6.55pm to let them know you may be late.
It goes without saying that no matches are to be played on a Monday night. Matches can easily be accommodated on
a Thursday or Friday evening instead.
