Summer Blitz on Thursday 7 July

Our inaugural Summer Blitz takes place on Thursday 7 July, in the Bridge Centre, starting at 7.30. This will be almost the same as our monthly winter blitzes, except for taking place in the summer. The one change is that there will be an entry fee of €5 (for members and non-members alike) to pay for the hire of the room; if there is a surplus then there will be PRIZES. For anybody who hasn’t been before, we supply all the equipment, so all you have to bring is yourself. Players of all levels are welcome. There will be seven rounds, each player gets 5 minutes for the game, plus an increment of 5 seconds per move. Hope to see you there
