Reminder: EGM and Bridge Session Next Tuesday (22/10)
by bridgeclub 22 Oct '21

22 Oct '21

Dear all, For those of you who haven't received any emails from us, welcome to the bridge club! We apologise for the delays in processing your mailing list applications. We have a Discord server (join here<https://discord.gg/bUqx6Dd>) where we make announcements outside of club hours and is always open for people to play inside. In the case where we play online, we use BridgeBaseOnline (create account here<https://www.bridgebase.com/>). After you create your account or if you have an existing account, please tell us your username on this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn7d9BEGQAfWtj0iulWq5GfeR8VMivJHc…> if you haven't already. Additionally, we highly encourage you to purchase the club membership here<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/bridge>. This will allow you to vote during the EGM next week along with other benefits. To those who attended our first in-person session on Tuesday, thank you for attending! It was good to see all of you. Just a reminder that we will be holding the EGM next Tuesday (22/10) 6pm at Blackett LT1 to vote on changes to the club constitution. That should take only about 15 minutes and after that, we will move to Blackett 741 for our weekly session. These sessions are aimed at training novices/beginners to participate in an internal competition on 23rd November. We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday! Keep Bridging, The committee

In-Person Beginner Session Tomorrow
by bridgeclub 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Hi everyone, This is just a reminder that tomorrow's in person session is taking place from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Blackett 741. We look forward to seeing all of you there. Once again, we highly recommend that novices and beginners attend this session in particular, as learning this wonderful game is FAR easier in person, with multiple people with expertise around to help you if you get stuck. All other players are also welcome, especially as we are trying to curate a return to normal Bridge sessions. For those that are yet to do so this year, make sure to obtain membership here<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/bridge>, so that you will be able to attend and vote in the Extraordinary General Meeting next week. Voting has also opened today for the Bridge Club Junior Treasurer position. The candidates for this office are Jarek Ciba and Vikram Thakrar and you can vote using STV here<https://vote.union.ic.ac.uk/paper.php>. For further announcements, as well as those that want to play online bridge or communicate directly with fellow members outside of Bridge Club hours, join our discord here. Keep Bridging, The Committee

Bridge Club Today
by bridgeclub 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

Hi Everyone, Sorry for not writing to you all sooner. Unfortunately, the club has had a whole host of administrative issues to deal with, so we will send out another email with further details about what we aim to do this term. There will be an online session today from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Anyone with experience playing bridge or with an experienced Bridge partner is welcome to join. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you during the CSP Open Day last week. We were particularly thrilled to see so many people interested in taking up Bridge for the first time. As a result, we have decided to book a special introductory session for novices and beginners next Tuesday (19th October) in Blackett 741 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Please reply to this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenfHmPBuqav8305EAC5V9XIb6_IBlHNWu…> as soon as possible if you are interested in attending next week's session, as there are only a limited number of places available. We will then be holding an EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting) on the 26th October in order to vote on committee members and constitutional changes. This will then be followed by drinks in the Union Bar. We highly encourage you all to buy membership here<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/bridge>, as only those with membership will be allowed to attend and vote during the meeting. If you have not yet done so, make sure to join our discord here<https://discord.gg/bUqx6Dd> as well as create an account on Bridge Base Online (BBO), which can be done here<https://www.bridgebase.com/v3/>. From there, either send your BBO Username by email or through discord and you will be invited to play. Look forward to seeing you soon! The committee

Welcome to Bridge Club 2021-2022
by bridgeclub 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hi everyone, We would like to welcome you all back for another year of Bridge Club. Here is a current rundown of our status: Current measures voted on by the Imperial College Board of Trustees mean that weekly sessions will still need be held online on BBO (Bridge Base Online). We wish to return to in person sessions at Blackett 751 as soon as possible. Fortunately, we are planning an in person meet-up session in order to give a proper welcome to new members as well as those who have only played online. (Date TBC in future e-mail) We will also be organising an in person EGM (Emergency General Meeting) in order to change the club constitution during the first half of the autumn term - to be followed by drinks in the Union Bar. In order to take part and vote, you will need to renew your Bridge Club memberships, which can be done here<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/bridge>. The 'Treasurer' position is up for grabs during Imperial's Autumn Elections, whose voting platform can be found here<https://vote.union.ic.ac.uk/>. Note that in order to stand for this role, membership is required. Since there's been a change in leadership, everyone will need to send their BBO username, either by e-mail or by direct message on the discord. For those that have yet to join our discord server, you can join using this link: https://discord.gg/bUqx6Dd Finally, we hope to see anyone that comes along to tomorrow's CSP Open Day and look forward to some 'Strong Passes' at the start of term! Best Wishes, The Committee
