Dear all, Our weekly sessions take place every Tuesday 6-8pm in Blackett 630. IC Bridge Club won't be sending out weekly emails to spam your inboxes, and we will only use emails to communicate room changes and other news. We will also send out some bridge exercises from time to time. You can join our WhatsApp group chat if you haven't already.
