The following message went out to all TBA members on 20 June 2020
Bridge is back on June 26th – although not quite as we know it.
Due to Tasmania’s early move to Level 3 COVID-19 restrictions, the TBA can resume running bridge sessions from Friday June 26th at 10.00am
The conduct of these sessions will still be subject to the TBA COVID-19 Safety Plan (see attached and on the TBA web site) so be prepared to sign an undertaking that you will only come if you are well, have your temperature taken, sanitise your hands on entry and bring your own mug and/or water bottle to bridge. Also, if you will be paying your table money by cash, please bring exact change with you.
But wait – there’s more ...
Due to our 24 pair participation limit, we recommend that you register to participate in each session. This will save you from travelling to bridge, only to find that there isn’t a seat for you.
The TBA has developed a Player Registration system, to ensure you can reserve a place at your favourite sessions.
From Tuesday 23 June to can get access to the system by going to shdc.tech and clicking "New account activation", then enter your ABF number and click "Activate". This will send you an email containing a link to let you specify a password and logon to the system (check your Junk mail folder if the email does not appear to arrive). Once logged on you can book seats by clicking the "Book seats" link next to the session you want to play in. Initially all sessions will require bookings to be made for pairs rather than individuals. More instructions on how to use the new system will be available on the TBA website.
If neither you nor your partner have supplied the TBA with email addresses you can book seats by contacting a director or emailing the TBA.
Once you have completed the COVID-19 obstacle course, we look forward to seeing you back at our club soon.
We will commence with the following sessions at the Club :
- Monday - 10.00 am - Supervised
- Monday - 7.30 pm - Single section with parallel session online
- Tuesday - 10.30 am
- Wednesday - 10.00 am
- Thursday - 9.30 am - Single section with parallel session online
- Thursday - 1.15 pm
- Friday - 10.00 am
- Saturday - 1.15 pm
We will move quickly to re-establish other sessions once we assess that there is sufficient demand for them.
Roger’s teams will recommence on Friday July 17th
In addition to these sessions running at the TBA, we will continue to conduct some online sessions for the convenience of members.
These will be held as follows :
- Monday 7.15pm - Open (Parallel Session with TBA)
- Wednesday 1.15pm - Rookie session with Sue Falkingham
- Wednesday 7.15pm - Open
- Thursday Morning 10:00am - Open (Parallel Session with TBA)

This message is going out by "snail mail" to members who have not provided email addresses.

Looking forward to seeing you all very soon!
