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 (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@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.

One more thing! If by now you've confirmed that our society is perfect for you, please go ahead and buy our membership 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
