The normal online Tuesday morning session I mentioned in my last email is going ahead, as I said, but for some reason, I put in the wrong date. I was of course referring to May 30th, not June 20th, as I mistakenly wrote. My apologies for that – hence this attempt to clear up the confusion. May 30th it is, starting at the normal time of 9am.
Thank you to everyone who turned up to play in the Charlbury session last week – a great turn out, which bodes well for the future, and the first of similar events to come. The next monthly session will be in June and I will be confirming the date and time shortly. A new series of face to face sessions at Wytham Village Hall will be started soon too. Watch this space for more details. In the meantime there will be the normal Tuesday morning online session this Tuesday May 30th), kicking off at 9am, but nothing for the following two weeks as I shall be away on holiday. Email me if you plan to be joining us this Tuesday.
The normal online Tuesday morning session is going ahead tomorrow. Depending on numbers will decide whether to kick off by playing together one of BBO’s 8 board robot bridge challenges for Acol players – a great way to test your knowledge and share my thinking – or move straight on to supervised play. Please let me know by email if you are available and I will send details and add you to the list of players who get notified every week.
A reminder that I will be hosting a combined teaching and social bridge event in Charlbury on Wednesday May 24th starting at 2.30pm – some bridge tips to start with, followed by a few rounds of Chicago, the most fun way to play the game in a social context. The session will be held in a lovely barn just outside Charlbury. and hosted by Andrew and Rosie Dent.
If you would be interested in joining this session please let me know by email (using the contact link to the left or on the top menu) and I will give you the details. If you have already told me that you wish to play there is no need to let me know again. I will be emailing those who have said they were coming to confirm their place.

I have also resumed the online Tuesday morning sessions with a slightly new format. We kick off by playing together one of BBO’s 8 board robot bridge challenges for Acol players – a great way to test your knowledge and share my thinking – followed by several hands of supervised play. Again if you are interested please let me know and I will send details and add you to the list of players who get notified every week.
Look out also for the next beginners and refreshers lessons that I will be announcing shortly.
Happy Christmas to everyone on our mailing list. Thank you to every one of you who has either taken a course, joined a seminar, taken a lesson, and played online or face to face this year. There will be no more scheduled sessions or lessons until January as we take a Christmas break but there will be more activity in 2023. I will be providing an update of what is on offer, including details of a new free online challenge series, shortly. If you are one of the many who have contacted me in the hope of starting to learn bridge, please don’t hesitate to let me know if you are still interested. It has been difficult to schedule lessons for everyone who enquired, but I hope to accommodate as many of you as possible in the New Year. Please watch this space for more news.
A quick message to say there is no Thursday face to face session in Wytham tomorrow (June 23rd) as I am away. I have however added a booking link for the online session next Tuesday (June 28th) and Wytham next Thursday (June 30th).

I trust that you have all been enjoying the jubilee weekend. I am afraid that there is no online session on Tuesday morning (June 7th) as I have to be in London for other business. There should however be a face to face session on Thursday in Wytham (June 9th) if there is sufficient demand. The Charlbury sessions will be resuming after the summer holidays and will be flagged well in advance. I am also now preparing a new teaching timetable. More on that anon.

Our regular supervised play session in Wytham Village Hall, starting at 10am.
My apologies for the lateness of this weekly reminder about upcoming bridge sessions, the result of some technical issues. There will be an online session tomorrow morning (Tuesday) if there is sufficient demand. With the upcoming jubilee bank holiday, I am not currently proposing a face to face session on Thursday in Wytham, but if there is sufficient demand in a celebratory morning of bridge I may be prepared to reconsider. If you are interested in a Thursday session please let me know by email and I will assess the likely numbers.
