Last updated: 23 November AM. Will be changed and updated regularly.
BREAKING: I SEE THAT THERE ARE NEW MEMBERS IN BOTH THE GROUP ON NEBENAN AND IN THE FACEBOOK GROUP. PLEASE DO GET IN TOUCH IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PLAYING BRIDGE OVER THE HOLIDAYS WHEN WE ARE ALL BETWEEN VHS COURSES. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE UNDECIDED WHETHER TO COMMIT TO ONE OF THE VHS COURSES, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSES, TO THE TEACHER, AND TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
This autumn’s VHS courses are running and coming to an end in a couple of weeks. Below is information on the opportunities to play privately during the holidays, as well as information on the VHS courses due to start in the middle of January:
WHEN VHS IS CLOSED, THERE IS STILL THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AT MY PLACE, AND THE EARLIER I KNOW IF THERE IS INTEREST, THE BETTER:
Below is a week-by-week overview, including the weeks where for one reason or the other there is no bridge course at VHS. Where nothing else is stated, we aim at arrivals from 18.15, ready to start playing at 18.30, but for those who can only come later, that is also OK. We’ll start playing as soon as enough people have arrived.
The occasional opportunities to play bridge privately during autumn, in the weeks where VHS is closed, are marked with *** below.
Week 48: Wednesday 27 November VHS 9/10, and Friday 29 November VHS 8/10.
Week 49: Wednesday 4 December VHS 10/10, and Friday 6 December VHS 9/10.
***Week 50: As replacement for the Wednesday course which is now finished, I can suggest playing at my place on Monday, 9 December (Friday players also welcome, of course). Also in that week the last Friday class 13 December VHS 10/10.
***Week 51: At my place Tuesday 17, Thursday 19, or Friday 20 December.
What we know so far: Teresa is available on 17 December but NOT on 19 December.
***Week 52: For now, any time. I will be staying in Berlin and do not celebrate Christmas, so if you are interested in playing, please speak up and feel free to suggest dates, including daytime, holidays and weekends.
What we know so far: Teresa and Rob are available most days.
***Week 1: 30 December to 5 January: For now, any time, as far as I’m concerned, except 4 and 5 January during the day.
***Week 2: 6 to 12 January: Thursday 9 or Friday 10 January.
