Another match against LSE
by Schafer, Jorrit 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hey, There's another match against LSE this weekend at the same time and same place as last time (2pm at LSE on Saturday). We'll try get there a little bit earlier this time so that we can start on time. I think this time they will have their best players lined up so it should be exciting! Once again we'll be sending two teams. So far I have: Jorrit-Jack Xiaolu-Kok Hong (2pm too late or still okay?) Filip Liam Nicholas Chris (Sunday only?) Can the people above confirm whether or not they can make it as soon as possible. We need exactly 8 players so we might be one or two short, if you anyone else is interested in playing let me know. Cheers, Jorrit

Hey, The match against LSE is on Saturday from 2pm to 6pm. It is at LSE in the New Academic Building on the 2nd floor. I'll be waiting at the South Kensington tube station and heading that way at 1.30pm in case some of you are not sure how to get there. LSE will be fielding two teams, we will too if we have 8-10 people playing. On monday some of you said they would play depending on what time the match is. Could you please confirm as soon as possible whether you will be there or not so we know how many players we have. That way Rohan can confirm it with the LSE president. My email: js2207(a)ic.ac.uk<mailto:js2207@ic.ac.uk> The list I have thus far is as follows (if I missed someone out let me know!): Carry-Alex Kok Hong-Xiaolu Jack-Jorrit Chris Filip Liam Nicholas Jorrit Schäfer Treasurer Imperial College Bridge Club (2010-2011)

Bridge Club 5th Meeting
by Sheth, Rohan 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi All, This week, the advanced group are in Union Meeting Room 3 again and the beginners' group are in Union Meeting Room 1 (for the full two hours, we don't need to start off in the JCR this week). Straight after practice, we'll be heading over to Brick Lane to get a curry. If you can't make it to Bridge but would still like to grab a curry, you can meet us at approximately 7:45 at Aldgate East tube station, Brick Lane exit. If you have any problems, give me a call (07595 822 009). Please remember that you have to be a member of Bridge Club to come along to Brick Lane. From next week, you will also have to be a member to attend weekly meetings. Last chance to sign up: http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/bridge-443/bridge-membership-2213/produ… One more thing - I need to book rooms for next term so that we can hopefully get two fixed rooms and avoid faffing around with different rooms every week and moving halfway through. For this term, we were forced to book rooms from 5-7 because that was the only two hour slot available. However, for next term, I am considering changing the weekly meeting time to 6-8. Although this may mean that some of you will have to wait around for an extra hour on Mondays, it will have the advantage that more people will be able to attend because it doesn't clash with their lectures and we will also get a much wider choice of room bookings because it's after departmental room hours. If anyone has any serious issues with changing from 5-7 to 6-8 for next term, please send me an e-mail before midnight on Monday. If I get enough complaints, I will stick to 5-7, otherwise I will assume that 6-8 is fine. Cheers, Rohan (Bridge Club President 2010/2011)

Hey everyone! Remember there is a Juniors (U25) tournament this Sunday at the Young Chelsea Bridge Club! It would be nice if we could send a couple of teams from Imperial College =) Some people in my group that have already told me they are going to come but I haven't had a chance to talk to people in the beginners group yet. The entry fee is £5 per person including refreshments (details attached). If anyone is interested, please let me know as soon as you can. If you don't have a partner that isn't a problem at all, we'll try to pair people up. It should be a fun afternoon! On a separate note, I've contacted the EBU and they have agreed to pay us £300 worth of bridge tuition as well as provide us with bridge equipment and teaching material. We'll try to find a teacher during the course of the week and hopefully get one by Monday 15th November. For the people in my group, I'll get some tricky defensive problems on slides for Monday! Jorrit Imperial College Bridge Club Treasurer (2010/2011)
