Bridge Club 4th Meeting
by Sheth, Rohan 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Hi All, Bridge Club this week will be exactly the same as last week - Jorrit's group will be in Union Meeting Room 3 between 5-7 and my group will be in the JCR between 5-6 and in Physics LT2 between 6-7. I am also pleased to announce the first Bridge Club social event of the year: Curry on Brick Lane! We'll be heading over after practice on Monday the 8th of November. Please note, however, that if you want to come along, you will need to be a paid-up member of Bridge Club. 28 of you turned up in total last week but there are only 16 that have paid their membership fee. So please take this opportunity to buy membership (http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/bridge-443/bridge-membership-2213/produ…) if you haven't already done so. Cheers and see you on Monday, Rohan (Bridge Club President 2010/2011)

Hey all, Some of you have asked me about tournaments, duplicate sessions and lessons so I'm sending round an email to everyone with some further information if you are keen to get in some practice: 1) There will be a Junior Teams event at the Young Chelsea Bridge Club next week Sunday (7th Nov). The lady organising the event has told me the level will probably be not especially high, so if you are still a beginner that is not a problem at all and you are more than welcome. This will be held at the Young Chelsea Bridge Club in Earl's Court which is about 15 mins walk from South Kensington. 2) If any of you are under 19, there is also a Pairs competition on Sunday 28th November (£2 entrace fee). 3) The Young Chelsea Bridge Club also offer free beginners lessons for students. They have sessions on Monday evenings (7.30pm, so right after we finish), Wednesday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. They also have a beginners session on the first Thursday of every month where they serve wine and cheese (£5 for the evening). 4) Besides providing lessons and hosting events the Young Chelsea Bridge Club also runs regular club nights of varying levels (http://www.ycbc.co.uk/timetable.htm) These are all free for students and would be a great opportunity to have a few games and see what it is like. 5) If going to the Young Chelsea Bridge Club is not an option for whatever reason, a very popular bridge site is: http://www.bridgebase.com/ It is a free site with over 5000 members online at any time. It is useful if you would like to just play for a couple of minutes or want to do bidding practise with a friend. They also have live broadcasts with commentary of all major bridge tournaments around the world. If you have any questions about anything I mentioned or are looking for a partner to join an event, please don't hesitate to contact me (js2207(a)ic.ac.uk<mailto:js2207@ic.ac.uk>) and I'll see what I can do. Kind regards, Jorrit Schäfer Imperial College Bridge Club Treasurer (2010/2011)

Bridge Club 3rd Meeting
by Sheth, Rohan 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi All, If you have signed up to this mailing list but haven't been able to attend Bridge Club yet, don't worry, it's not too late to start! Several of you have been asking about buying membership for Bridge Club. I'm pleased to say that the online payment system has finally been set up for Bridge Club - here's the link: http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/clubs-and-societies/a-to-z/b/bridge/. If the link doesn't work, just go to the clubs & societies page on the Imperial College Union website, click on A-Z and then select "Bridge". Once there, you should click on "shop" on the left-hand side and then follow the on-screen instructions. Please buy your membership soon - it's only £2 and you will need to buy it fairly soon to continue attending Bridge Club. With regards to next week's meeting, I've taken on board the two main problems that you had (the lack of space and too much theory for the beginners' group). The advanced group will continue to be in Meeting Room 3 (where we were last week) from 5-7. The beginners' group will be in the JCR from 5-6 and then in Physics Lecture Room 2 from 6-7 (we'll take you there from the JCR, so you don't need to worry about getting in by yourself). Sorry about the half-time change but it's all I could book at short notice. In addition, the beginners' group will be playing No Trump contracts for the next two weeks, so hopefully a bit of a break from my dull theory lessons. Summary: Beginners: Meet at 5pm on Monday in the JCR and start playing some bridge! Advanced: Meet at 5pm on Monday in Meeting Room 3 Everyone: 568 after practice :) That's all for now, if you have any questions or comments, as ever, contact me on rs2209(a)ic.ac.uk<mailto:rs2209@ic.ac.uk> or 07595 822 009. Cheers, Rohan (Bridge Club President 2010/2011)
