Impala will be Online on RealBridge from Tuesday 28 February 7.15pm start. Our first tournament will be our Club Championships which will be played straight over 4 weeks Matchpoint Pairs with all 4 sessions counting. We are playing on RealBridge because we want a friendly feel - cameras and microphones should be kept on for the social aspect. We will charge R50 per session and we will have our usual cash prizes for tournament wins at the end of the year: Phil King will be responsible for collecting monies and we will request players to deposit credit to play. Importantly, Steve Bunker has agreed to administer and direct our tournaments on RealBridge - he is an experienced TD, has great technical acumen, and is known for running professional sessions and tournaments in a fair and gregarious manner.

Going forward, we expect to play some tournaments face to face, at the least our Impala Open and Closed, but maybe a teams thing here and there. Generally though, we will be Online.

As Online bridge cares not for geographical boundaries...tell your friends! We are happy to accept allcomers from South Africa and further afield. Good practice for Congress in April! Ask people not on this list to get in touch with Andrew Cruise on 081 355 8983 and I will add them to the email distribution group, and WhatsApp Group as well. The play link for each session will be distributed in advance by email and WhatsApp.
