ON-LINE BRIDGE ON WEDNESDAYS |
Simply click on the above Link and you will be able to join.
Once on the home page you will need to fill in your name and your EBU membership number in the ID box and then join a table opposite your partner if they are already there, if not click on an empty space.
Three more points to make note of:
- Use Chrome rather than Edge as your browser as RealBridge works better on Chrome
- If you lose connection, refresh or leave and log back in again
- If necessary you can control the volume of players by using the mic symbol to the right of a persons name
Some people have found circular blue and white icons appearing in front of their bidding cards if they are using Edge. They appear as image001.png and image002.png. It is caused by a feature of Edge called 'visual search'. This feature should be disabled when using RealBridge. To do that hover over the icon, (or the upper of the 2 icons) so that you can see the lower icon with 3 dots in it. Click on the 3 dots and a submenu will appear like this: image003.png, then do "hide for this site" (If you want to disable this feature for all websites click "hide always")
The charge for each session is £2.00 and you will be billed by Joan our Treasurer who will send you an email every 2 months.
