When is this going to start?


No, tuesdays are gone.

Sunday 2pm will be available probably though. I will definetely turn one of the days in, if not both though, i dont think we have enough people willing to do this.

Well it's been all middle-of-the-night so far, as far as I'm concerned. Not that I think I am at a high enough level to play against JEC team regularly but I would help out if I didn't have to sleep. ;)

I think you should try having the 2pm slot only, because you'll be able to get players from both sides of the Atlantic at the same time.

I can play any day at 2pm Eastern time: that is 6pm UK time right? Now that we are on summer time (GMT+1)?

Or does eastern have summer time too?

We are talking EDT, so 7pm UK summer time, and 20:00 CEST.

I am available to play on Sunday April 15th. If 4 people who can actually play bridge are available I will of course step aside.

i am in theory interested in playing on Sundays at 2pm (7pm UK time), if I can play with a non-forum-poster. But in practice I probably don't have a free Sunday evening now until the middle of May (other than possibly the 29th April depending on how something else turns out) - this is about the busiest time in my annual weekend calendar.

This may not be any help at all.

Ok, if you guys are willing to keep the 2pm slot, i will for you.

I will turn in the thursday slot, not that we have to, but we obviously cant come up with teams 2 times a week. And due to my job and all it is becoming hard for me.

Lets try to come up with a team this thursday 7 pm for the last time and we start 2pm sundays after that. So i will need a team for thurday this week 7 pm and sunday for 2 pm.

Do you mean Sunday 8th? You won't get many English players, because there's a major event that weekend.

I'm available on 15th April, 29th April, 6th May and 13th May, and I can bring a partner. We'd like to play as many of those as you'll let us.

Sunday 8th happens to be Easter Sunday and there is also a BBF League match on that date at the same time.

FWIW its worth, this Thursday we are having our groundbreaking for the racetrack, and Sunday is Easter, so both days are out.

A week from Thursday (4/12) probably works.
