Competition - Nov 1st
by bridgeclub 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hi all, It’s been great to see so many of you come to our beginner sessions. I hope you all enjoyed and are excited to continue coming in the future. We need to choose our teams for the Portland Bowl (main inter-university competition of the year) by Nov 14th. Thus, we will be running a duplicate bridge competition to help us with the squad selection. We require two teams of 6 so we are looking for 10 people to join Lee Ann and me in the teams this year. It will take place on Nov 1st from 6:15-8:30 (approximate timings) in Blackett 741. Please try to arrive before 6:15 to avoid delays. Everyone will play 16 boards. We will score by match points which we will explain on the day before we start. Whilst we expect the more experienced members to have the best chance of making the team, we recommend everyone attends as playing in a competition is a great way to practice, learn and improve. Please complete this form https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQA… if you would like to play. Select whether you have a partner to play with or you want to be allocated one on the day. After the competition, I will be running a post mortem (not related to death) where we will discuss the hands together to analyse what went well and what went wrong. It will be a good learning opportunity so I hope as many people come as possible. If anyone would like to contact me directly, feel free to do so at this email address or at bl621(a)ic.ac.uk. Good luck everyone! Hope you all enjoy it! Many thanks, Ben Lewis Bridge Vice President Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Bridge tomorrow!
by bridgeclub 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hello everyone! As mentioned last week, tomorrow at 6pm (Blackett 741) we will continue with our beginners' session. By the end of it, everyone will be able to play proper, actual, real bridge! On another note, ICL autumn elections opened today! Our bridge club has open spots for the positions of Secretary, Competitions Secretary, Treasurer and Pool. We'd love to have a full committee, so please feel free to apply for a position here<https://vote.union.ic.ac.uk/login> (you'll need to have bought the yearly bridge membership beforehand from here<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/bridge>). For those of you already itching for some competitions, we have something special planned in a few weeks' time. More on that tomorrow ;) See you all at 6pm in Blackett 741! All the best, Lee Ann Madissoon President of ICL Bridge Club

Today and next week
by bridgeclub 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Heya everyone! To all of you who we met today, thank you for coming! It was so much fun! Moving forward, next Tuesday we will continue with the beginner session by looking into trump contracts and hopefully by the end of it we can start playing actual, real contract bridge! So excited!!! For those of you wondering about advanced sessions, we will try to organise them in a few weeks' time. Once we have the logistics sorted, we'll send out a separate form to fill if you're interested! For all beginners looking to improve their skills outside of our society, we strongly recommend contacting the Young Chelsea Bridge Club<https://www.bridgewebs.com/youngchelsea/> (YCBC). They have new beginner sessions starting this Sunday that are free for students, taught at least partially by Mike Eden who was at the session with us today. If interested, please contact their manager Chris at manager(a)ycbc.co.uk and simply state you're a beginner player from Imperial — he's expecting you! YCBC is also a great place to play bridge for any other level of players from intermediate to expert. They have tournament-style sessions (free for students) on Mondays at 19:15 and Fridays at 19:30. To both, you are welcome to simply show up by yourself (they will allocate a random partner for you) or bring a partner along. No pre-registration needed, just show up! The address is on their webpage<https://www.bridgewebs.com/youngchelsea/>. One more thing! If by now you've confirmed that our society is perfect for you, please go ahead and buy our membership<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/bridge> from the union store (it's £5 per year). It would really help us with organising competitions and other bridge events throughout the year! Again, it was truly wonderful to see everyone today! We hope you enjoyed yourselves and we'll see you again next week! All the best, Lee Ann Madissoon President of ICL Bridge Club
