WHICH DEVICES CAN BE USED?
You can use any of the following: Windows laptop, Windows tablet, Windows desktop, MacBook or other Apple laptop, ipad (from 2015 or newer), iMac or other Apple desktop, Chromebook or Android tablet.

The cost of the 'RealBridge' sessions are:
Wednesday 'Stepping Stones' - £1 per session
Members have been sent an email with details regarding how to pay for these sessions.
Once you have clicked the link and logged in to 'RealBridge' you will be placed in a waiting area (lobby) before you go to your table. You will see that tables have been set out and these will be numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. You should then do the following:
If you have a partner - First, look to see if your partner is already seated and, if so, join them at that table by clicking on the seat that is opposite them - North, South, East or West. If they are not already there, you should go to one of the lower numbered tables, click on a seat and wait for them to join you.
If you DO NOT have a partner - Please sit at a higher numbered table, by clicking on one of the seats, and the TD will try to find a partner for you. This is similar to what you would do at the club.
Each of our sessions will have a Tournament Director/Teacher who will be there to help you and will send messages to the players and/or talk to them, in person, at their tables, in order to give information/instructions and help with any technical difficulties or other problems.
Once play begins, bids are made using bidding boxes that are similar to those that are used at the bridge club. 'Alerts' are made in the same way as at the bridge club - that is, your partner alerts - and 'Stop' signs come up automatically.
Please remember to switch off your mobile phone, to dress appropriately and that you can be heard so do not count your points out loud or say anything that you would not say at the club.
