It has been running successfully ever since and is particularly appreciated by those who are unable or unwilling to return to face to face bridge in a club setting, or who want to ‘mix and match’ online and club play.
To maintain and build the numbers attending our sessions and to network with other bridge enthusiasts, I reached out to other people who already enjoyed online bridge. As a result, we have a joint session on the last Monday of each month with the Treff4 Bridge Club based in Germany.
We also ran joint sessions for over a year with the Cossington Bridge Club based in Somerset.
During COVID-19, we merged results with the Victoria Park Bridge Club to maintain links between those who played online and F2F.
The success of "Cordial Bridge" wouldn't be possible without the unlimited help and advice from Malcom Boyack from the Cullompton and Willand Bridge Club, Paul - my personal support team, and also all the players who joined Monday sessions, gave their advice and encouragement.
