Hi everyone,

We've got a few competitions on the horizon for everyone to take note of:

Portland Bowl

Details here. This is basically a knock-out tournament organised by the English Bridge Union that occurs throughout the year, with the first match around December.
We're looking to form two teams of 4-6 players each that will compete in this. Sign up here by the end of the week if you're interested to playing for us. Please email us, or talk to me on Tuesday, for any questions on this.

Internal pairs competition

Once again, we're holding our annual internal pairs competition, where members can pair up and compete for glory. Currently, we're looking to have this on 19th Nov. More details to follow as I attempt to figure out the union's computer system works - unfortunately, technology continues to elude me as it always does.

London Cup

London Cup is a single-day event team match (four players in a team) to be held on 1st Dec (somewhere in London, I would think). Unfortunately, I've not been able to get more details for now, but do keep your calendars open for this if you're interested in trying out competitive play, as there will be players from universities all over the UK participating, and it's open to players of all skill levels, meaning that it's a great starting point to get a feel of things.

Ending off

Buy membership if you haven't! Competitions are only open to members, so don't miss out on a chance to participate in these stellar events.
Also, as usual, we'll be having our weekly club sessions on Tuesdays; this week's session will be on 22nd Oct at 6-8pm in Blackett 741. 

See you later,
the committee
