The new session will be held weekly on Friday evenings, commencing on Friday 14th August at 7.15pm. It will be combined with (but separate from) the existing Friday evening session, will use the same boards, and will be open to all junior and novice players.
Subject to demand, the session will run as a trial for up to 18 weeks until 4th December, and will feature 6 three week series, with players required to have different partners for each series. Recognising that - especially for our newer players - this will all be a new experience, there will be no need for juniors to play the same number of boards or at the same pace as the rest of the room. The minimum number of boards to qualify for C Points will be played, however, and C points will be awarded in accordance with normal practice.
Vivienne Cannell has kindly agreed to direct, at least initially. We very much hope that as many members as possible of this year's learners' class will choose to play and Vivienne will be able to guide those new players on play at a club session.
The Committee would like to emphasise that this new Friday session is additional to and not instead of the established afternoon sessions which attract many of the club's junior players. We hope that it will be of special interest to those junior players who for whatever reason are unable to attend those Monday and Thursday sessions.
If you are a Junior or Novice player and would like to play with others at the same level, please come along to these Friday evening sessions - we'd love to see you!
