Our bridge club is likely to remain closed until August or September as it is unlikely that Easts Leagues Club will be allowed to open before then. So it looks like bridge on line is our only option.
IF you have not used Bridge Base Online (BBO) before please look at these videos for guidance.
Following the recommendations of ABF, Easts Bridge Club will close until the end of April, when decision of reopening will be considered.
Until then, we plan to set up some table on BBO (Bridge Base Online) on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12.30. To find how you can join in, click on the following guide to BBO,

How to play bridge on BBO from home (with Easts members)
You will need a computer or tablet and an internet (wifi) connection.
You can also play bridge on a large mobile phone but it is awkward.
