Hello everyone!

We hope you have all had a good week and are looking forward to the next bridge session, it will be on Monday 31st in Blackett 741 6-8pm. The same room we played in last week.

This will be our first week without Mike, the bridge teacher. The plan is to just come along and play some bridge, its the best way to learn. Those of you who were being taught by Mike, please bring along the sheets he handed out and use them in the games you play. If you feel as so you aren't ready to play then teaching will be available from some experienced players.

There will be again free Tea, Coffee and Biscuits and possibly a trip to the union afterwards for all  of those who want to go for a post bridge drink.

You might want to start thinking about partners, in bridge it is preferable if you have a partner and play with them often. As then you pick up on how each other plays and can move on to more complex parts of the game, such as signalling and slam bidding.


Save the date: we are going to have a tournament on Monday December 5th! Get excited! This will be a great chance for those less experienced players to play in a tournament situation and start learning how the scoring system works. If people have partners, turn up with them to play, if not, we will partner people up on the night.


There is now a WhatsApp group for us all. This should be used to encourage playing on Bridge Base Online or going to the Young Chelsea Bridge Club. One thing, when messaging please mention your name as they do not all show up on WhatsApp.

For those of you who have been in the club a while, you might remember the Portland Bowl? This is an interschool tournament where there are 4 rounds. In 2013 our very own Phillip and Jorrit won it! We can enter a maximum of 2 teams into the tournament, so if you would like to enter please talk to others about making a team and then contact Tony.


To finish this unexpectedly long email, we would like to remind you to buy membership for the club. Its only £5! The money is essential for running the club, buying biscuits and entering tournaments. Please Join Here.


We look forward to seeing you all on Monday!


Kind regards,


Your bridge secretary,


Laura :)
