Following on from last week’s column I will in future try and include, in the results section, success by our members in non-bridge club online games. For now, if you finish top three in any Open game with more than 100 pairs taking part, or any 99er...

In my wrap-up of the first Bermuda Online Tournament last week, I missed bringing you some pretty important results – I’m blaming the hired help for that! The format of the event provided for overall winners in three categories based on results right...

With the unsettling news of the rise in Covid-19 cases on the Island, the Bridge Club have taken the sensible decision to suspend all games at the Club and go back to being completely online. The Committee reviewed the options for online games and co...
