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=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAA... 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@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>
