By the way, if anyone is interested in duplicate bridge, (and doesn't mind university bridge club people :)), I'm planning to go to UBC this term, starting with freshers' pairs on Thursday. Is anyone else thinking of going?
Freshers' Pairs is, apparently, "go along, play with a fresher." (Though some may debate whether they count as a non-fresher or fresher, if they're played before but never at ubc events :)) so recommended for people who want to give it a go, but don't have a partner and play some crazy ltc system of their own devising :)
I'm really quite looking forward to it. I went to UBC a couple of times in my first year, and then didn't play bridge for ages. I didn't know anyone then, and went to some bridge lessons, which were fun, but didn't *really* get what was going on. I'm still concerned I'll be able to play with a pick-up partner, and play quickly without making procedural errors, in other words, that I'll slow everything down and it'll be my fault, but it's a hobby, people less intelligent and experienced than me play without issue, so it should be perfectly fine.
