Bridge

Convenor: Susan Milford | Article by: Susan Milford

In common with many in-Club activities, Bridge continues to be impacted by COVID-19. As safety measures evolve, predicting when we will be able to play in-person (in the way that we used to) is not possible. Whilst we are keen to resume Bridge activity at the Club, the nature of the duplicate game means it is likely that online bridge will remain a key part of our offering to Section Members for the foreseeable future.

Apart from our regular Monday 7pm sessions (online), we have tried to accommodate those new to bridge with one table at the Men’s Bar when possible. SCC Bridge Section also participates in the Singapore online interclub tournament that was established during 2021. Our experienced (and patient) Game Director, Carlton Parker continues to be invaluable. Apart from directing our Monday game, he has supported us in trialling an initiative to support those Members who wish to develop their bridge knowledge and skills via online workshops. Going forward, the Bridge Section Committee will maintain and develop the Section to reflect the wishes of our Members and seek out ways that we can meet in-person whilst remaining within government guidelines. We are grateful for the support and encouragement provided by all SCC support staff and the General Committee and look forward to a time when we can meet in person on a regular basis Newly-elected Bridge Section Committee as of 6 December 2021: • Convenor: Susan Milford • Captain: Perumal Ramanathan • Treasurer: Richard Holloway • Secretary: Olivia Law • Committee Members: Kumud Rangroo and Edith Somogyi
