To close or not to close
At Mondays committee meeting it was decided that the club continue to remain open while there is no obvious Covid-19 in our community.
With the Mount Club's decision to close today we reviewed that and thought we should canvas the members to see what they thought.
The majority of people who had responded by 4pm to the email that was sent out supported this decision so we have not cancelled play for tonight.
This may change as the situation changes, and any individuals who feel they risk being compromised will doubtless be staying away.
RIP Fred
Just to let you know Jan Hill's husband, Freddy, passed away last night. He
had been unwell & went back into hospital on Thursday night.

Vil's comments on Cue Bidding
X-Files 58 There are cue bids and there are cue bids, different ones for different occasions. If you don’t play cue bids at all, or play them badly, your bidding becomes much more difficult. If you do play cue bids and pass up the chance, or maybe even ignore the opportunity, you won’t always get the right result. This deal comes from a Swiss pairs match, where getting to the best game is of huge importance. It would also have taken place in match point sessions at other X-Clubs.
