- Thursday 23rd April. A very busy evening. Please arrive by 6.30pm for the AGM. This is also the first evening of our Random Partners Competition. We will draw for partners on arrival and the committee strongly urge everyone to participate and get to know other people better and maybe pick up some hints and tips about playing the cards. We will of course accommodate anyone not wishing to enter the draw. It is also St Georges day and we urge you to dress appropriately and partake of themed refreshments.
2. Wednesday 29th April. Bridge Lessons for both Beginners and Improvers will restart after our prolonged Easter Break. Improvers will start with a lesson entitled “The Importance of Counting” with tips about interpreting the lay of the cards from a few simple counting strategies.
3. Thursday 30th April. This, being a fifth Thursday will be a “gentle duplicate session” where we encourage our learners and less confident players to try out their skills at duplicate Bridge. The pace of the evening will be slower than usual with time for feedback and analysis. Anyone wishing to be partnered by an experienced player should make it known to Pat Lucas or Pat Haslam. We have many willing volunteers happy to partner and advise.
