Monday Night Games

Competition Bridge convenes Mondays at 6:45pm for 7:00pm start at the clubrooms at Andersen Inlet Angling Clubrooms.

SGBC Monday Night Bridge uses a WhatsApp Group to coordinate the sessions.

If you would like to join the group, contact Kathy. Joining does not commit you to play but will keep you informed as to what is happening each week.

The idea behind this group is to make communication between us easier and take the uncertainty out of setting up the Monday night sessions. 

We have adopted a simple opt-in process. Late Friday afternoon a message will go out to the group seeking interest in the following Monday nights session. By 4 pm Sunday Kathy will have a view of how many players have committed and will make the call as to whether the session will go ahead. 

We can also use the Group to match up partners where necessary but also remember the “Need a Partner” link. 

Thanks and Regards,

Sean and Kathy
