Dear all, For our returning members - welcome back to another year of bridge! For our newcomers, may I take this opportunity to welcome you to Imperial's best society. I'll start off with the basic information. Bridge club will be meeting for the first time on Monday 13th October at 6pm in Meeting Rooms 1&2, drinks and snacks will be provided. If you can't make this session, then (in a similar vein to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) please do not panic - you are more than welcome in lieu to come to our second session the week after; you're not expected to buy membership for these first couple of sessions so come along, try us out, and become instantly enamoured with the king of the card games! The session will last approximately two hours, but if you can't stay for the whole thing then don't hesitate to come along anyway and leave early. Meeting Rooms 1&2 are in the Union building, they are fairly well indicated but if you're having trouble finding them then call me on 07748995181 and I'll come and rescue you. For the first few sessions we will be conducting some lessons and workshops to teach bridge from scratch to those who haven't played before; these will consist of a short presentation and some interactive activities so that you'll be playing by the end of the first session. For new members who can already play bridge, then we'd love for you to come along and jump straight into some games - partnerships will be organised on the day. After the session we'll be heading down to the Union for some drinks and a chat. That's all for this week's e-mail; a reminder about the session will be sent on Monday. Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope to see as many of you as possible very soon! Best wishes, Dominic BridgeSoc President
