I hope you will try this new and improved format! If you have trouble with paying by Eventbrite (as some of you have been having), you can also pay by bank transfer, but please make sure you do so 12 hours in advance with the date clearly stated. The booking page link for these Tuesday morning sessions is here.

It means that you do not always have to play with the same group, though you are free to do so. We will continue to allocate all comers to tables of roughly equal ability and experience. I am confident that this will work considerably better and make it much more enjoyable for everyone involved. I can for example arrange to visit each table in turn for 10 or 15 minutes each time, either to watch the current play or to answer questions about hands played earlier at your table. The other great advantage of this arrangement is that it will enable me to visit each table more often to offer advice and supervision. You don’t have to do anything except click the link I will send out on Tuesday mornings around 9am: I can set everything else up. Everybody at the table will be able to communicate directly with each other as well, just as when we meet in Wytham. How it will work in future is that each table will have their own Zoom breakout room, where they can freely chat to each other without having the distraction of hearing those at other tables also talking. Having experimented last week with the use of Zoom rooms, I am now able to make this a much better experience than it has been so far – thanks for your patience while we worked out how best to do this. I am making some important changes to the way that the Tuesday morning sessions (what I call “Wytham online”) are run.
It is encouraging that all the research done so far suggests that playing more bridge is good for your long term mental health and wellbeing. As the lockdown and social distancing restrictions seem set to last at least until the end of this month, and probably longer, it looks like there will plenty more opportunities to improve your game and while away the hours at the same time.
I know that many of you are playing a lot of online bridge now, which is excellent news. Thanks to everyone for their patience so far. The main news this week is that I have made some further improvements to the way we are running our online sessions.
