On or before 1st August 2009, Ryton Bridge Club has to inform the EBU whether it will be retaining its affiliation when the EBU's pay-to-play regulations come into force in April 2010. An outline of the proposals can be found on the pay-to-play page below. Members will be able to vote by ballot every Thursday from July 9th until July 30th. Can any member who will be unable to attend the club during this time please let me know via the email link so that alternative voting arrangements can be made.
Some people are having problems with the Flash buttons that provide transport from one page to the next. I have added the customary "underlined" links to get these people around the site, except that the navigation is a bit restricted. You will be able to get from this home page to where you want to be with the "underlines" but will have to use your browser's back-arrow button to return to the home page before going somewhere else in the site. Using the underlines, you can reach the May results (eg) but to get to the frequencies from the May page you will have to back-arrow your way to this page and then use the underlined frequencies link below.
People using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8 may have problems reaching the frequencies page. I installed IE8 at the end of April 2009, it comes with a feature called DEP which does not like the Java program that lives on the frequencies page. Each time I try to get to the frequencies page, DEP closes my browser. (May 12) Having trawled the Internet, it looks like DEP is an attempt by Microsoft to restrict the activities of seven-letter words that start with v (the last six sounding like the coloured parts of your eyes). There is a way to turn off DEP within IE8 but I would not recommend it as the price of failure could be a computer that will not power up (you change a file that is used at switch-on time). With DEP switched off, the frequencies page behaves itself but you will have to live with a side-effect of your actions that will only go away when you switch DEP back on again (thereby disabling frequencies). Can people addicted to the frequencies page who have IE8 installed please use the email link for the solution and associated side-effect.
Ryton Bridge Club
Welcome to the Ryton Bridge Club web site.
Ryton Bridge Club meet at 7:30pm each Thursday night at Ryton Rugby Union Football Club, play finishes round about 10:30pm. Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the playing premises, a bar plus tea and coffee are available. There is normally a short break of about 15 minutes at 9:00pm. The Club is affiliated to the North-East Bridge Association.

Visitors are welcome to the Club, subject to Rugby Club rules (which will not deter bona-fide visitors). When the Bridge Club takes part in a non-N.E.B.A. (simultaneous) event, visitors will be charged the full entry fee for the event in addition to their table money; club members pay only their table money.

The last Thursday of the month is a handicap event, the pair performing best on the night relative to their year-to-date average receive prizes.

Depending upon your browser, you will either see the most recent details or be prompted to download some Java support functions from (I think) java.sun.com. This download takes 20+ minutes via BT line, less via Broadband. The download is not automatic, you can cancel it if you want to. Until any necessary downlolad is performed, you will be unable to see any frequency details. There is a second frequencies link on the results page.

For people who want to see all the hands at once, no Java support required. This hands page will be updated each time a full set of curtain cards is collected at the end of the evening. Deals

This rabbit has nothing at all to do with the club, it is there for decorative purposes only.
