 From Wednesday the 22^nd of May, the Bury St Edmunds evening session on RealBridge will combine with the Cambridge Bridge Club

with a starting time of 7:30.

Both clubs have seen falling numbers for their session since the introduction of the EBU National League that runs at the same time.

Hopefully this joint collaboration will add several more tables making the evening a more enjoyable experience.

 All Bury players will continue to log on using the log on from the Bury website as usual. Although Cambridge will act as the ‘host’ club.

Bury will provide a ‘Director’ on a rota basis once the sessions have started to run.

A comprehensive list of County events is to be found on the Suffolk (SCBA) website.   Left hand column, under Malcolm Pryor's picture, 'Competitions Calendar'.

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:

1. Use Chrome rather than Edge as your browser as RealBridge works better on Chrome
2. If you lose connection, refresh or leave and log back in again
3. 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.

An article on the Suffolk website gives insight about information you can access on EBU (English Bridge Union) website.  From news to competitions and checking up on your masterpoints its your way to keep in touch with all that's going on.  All you need to access your own details is your EBU number and, oh yes, decide on a password!
