The EBU is in charge of bridge in the UK, the majority bridge clubs take money every night you play and pay a small quantity to the English Bridge Union, this is known as Pay to Play. That is as simple as it gets! If you are wanting to play in a partnership for a long period as many people fairly often end up doing you can change your system or/and flesh it out a lot more by adding extra gadgets to it such as:

Should play on any of the championship’s stated dates have to be cancelled for any reason, a new date will be decided by the Committee.The committee agreed that next year's AGM would be on 14th March 2022. 5. Pricing from 6th December onwards Confidence is the key—so perhaps starting with bringing own bidding boxes and hand sanitisers would help.' <Ⓜ#26>

I cannot believe it appropriate for Claygate to re-start duplicate bridge until after that seminar has run. I know little of the contents of the seminar, except that it includes advice about running 'hybrid sessions', in which some pairs are in the room and some are playing online: a scenario that I frankly regard as too complex for Claygate. Monday's session was marred by several pairs who, one assumes,failed either to listen to the director or to look closely at the BridgePal handset display before they inspectedtheir cards. On at least one table, everyone looked at the wrong cards, realised their mistake, then rotated the board 90 degrees to get the correct orientation. On other tables, pairs who had looked at the wrong cards completed the board atthe wrong orientation. Goodness knows how they scored it on the handset. Other pairs played the entire round on the wrong orientation.Each pair’s best four scores are used to calculate their final position. These four scores are then added together. Given the main use of the centre, if the local government authority is prepared to have it open all day, every day for the more vulnerable, I don't see why we should worry. I imagine we are all vaccinated. And we can wear masks. <Ⓜ#2> Results scored throughout the year count towards the Victor Ludorum, which runs from January to December.
