ROBERT STRONG - Life Member!

The club was delighted to applaud Robert on becoming its first Life Member at its meeting on the 2nd February when Alan presented him with a special commemorative certificate - see below.

Robert is well into his 94th year and has been a member of the Club since its inception and still drives every week to play with us at Lower Moor! His bridge skills remain undiminished and Robert is always a most pleasant - but challenging - opponent to play against and a model partner to play with. He and Chris Kelly recently came an outstanding second nationally in a Sim Pairs and we wish him every success at the table in the future and thank him for the contribution he has made to the Club.

Members Email Addresses

If you have email and have not yet advised Alan or Martin of your address please do so as soon as possible. Your address will NOT be put on web site but we will then be able to keep you informed of all news and events as soon as they are known!

Best Behaviour at Bridge

Bridge is an extremely enjoyable game. Courteous behaviour is an exceptionally important part of that enjoyment.
This guide serves as a brief reminder of how to behave at the bridge table. We are sure that all players naturally follow this code of conduct but there are times when concentration and pressure can take their toll and it is for these situations that we issue this as a reminder.

Greet others in a friendly manner prior to start of play on each round.
Be a good "host" or "guest" at the table.
Make your convention card readily available to your opponents and fill it out completely.
Make bridge enjoyable for yourself, partner and opponents.
Give credit when opponents make a good bid or play.
Take care of your personal grooming.
Ensure that your mobile phone is turned off.
Enjoy the company as well as the game.

Remember that it is rude to criticise your partner or opponents in public, to be less than polite at the table, to gloat over good results or object to a call for the tournament director or to dispute or argue about a director’s ruling.

Please call the director if you think you may have been affected by bad behaviour. You will be helping others as well as yourselves. The Director WILL give an immediate penalty if bad behaviour has occurred.

As in all games that are governed by rules and regulations, bad behaviour will be penalised .....

If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately. Annoying behaviour, embarrassing remarks, or any other conduct which might interfere with the enjoyment of the game is specifically prohibited by Law 74A. Law 91A gives the director the authority to assess disciplinary penalties. This can include immediate disciplinary board penalties, and if a future violation is incurred at the same event, disqualification in that event. The guilty party or parties will be deemed not to have played in that event. No masterpoints will be awarded and no refunds received, and the Club Chairman will also be notified.
