Welcome to Kings Sutton Bridge Club
Wednesday Morning Seminar

The next topic in the series of Wednesday morning seminars will be on Playing Your Contract
The format will be as previously - a short talk following by playing and reviewing some challenging practice hands
As there is a lot to get through, this session will start at 10 am as before but end around 12:30
It will be run on several Wednesdays in April

The target audience is Improvers and Intermediate players.  An e-mail notification has already gone out to members in the Wednesday group, but there are still a few places left for others

If you would like to participate and have not already applied, please send an email to ksbcsecretary@gmail.com
Around the beginning of March applicants will receive a message listing the booked dates and asking them to give their availabilities for these

Wednesday Mornings

In 2025, there will be Supervised Bridge every Wednesday (unless notified otherwise),
with Duplicate as well every three weeks.  The next Duplicate is scheduled for February 12th

Support is available during play to people in both sessions

For Duplicate, please be seated by 9:50 at the latest as 10 minutes are needed to set up the movement
People arriving after this time may not be allowed to play in the Duplicate session
(unless they have phoned and spoken to someone to say they will be late)
