TERMS & CONDITIONS

 

  

1. Your bridge/hospitality fee is payable at the first bridge session and covers bridge, prizes, drinks with Helen, and hotel staff gratuities. Payment by bank transfer is preferred. My bank details will be in your confirmation email. Otherwise, it is possible to pay in cash (please put this in an envelope with your name on so I know who it’s from!) or by cheque. There will be a collection box in the bridge room on the table with the scorecards.

 

2. Insurance is recommended to cover hotel cancellation fees. Most of my hotels do not charge provided you give 48 hours’ notice, but a copy of the cancellation policy will be sent to you with your booking confirmation if they do. You will lose any deposit you have paid to the hotel, but I do not charge for cancelling the bridge element of the holiday.

 

3. All players are expected to conform to the rules and regulations set down by the EBU (or SBU in Scotland) and especially the ones about being a good host and a good guest at the bridge table. Helen insists bridge should be fun!

 

4. Prizes will be awarded per session. They are awarded in the form of a voucher which may be exchanged for a gift from the prize table or used towards the cost of your next bridge fees (£5 per voucher). While you may only win one “special” prize per holiday, there are no other restrictions. Your pen is a present, not a prize!

 

5. You may play as much or as little bridge as you wish. You are asked to write your name on the “Not Playing” clipboard if you do not intend to play in a particular session. This will be on the table with the scorecards. The more notice you give, the better, so the best movement can be selected for the guests who do want to play.

 

 6. “Helen’s Bridge Holidays” is registered under the Data Protection Act. Your details will be passed to no one other than the hotel where we are staying.

 

7. Cancellation:

You can cancel in writing  by post (enclosing sae for acknowledgement) or by e-mail (cancellation not effective until confirmed) provided you give 48 hours’ notice. After this time,  you must also ring the hotel directly to let them know that you will not be joining us.

 

8. SINGLE PLAYERS:

 

Whilst players are welcome to come on my holidays without a partner and will be guaranteed a game at all sessions, they will be required to take “pot luck” as far as a partner is concerned.

 

Unlike larger bridge holiday companies, my budget will not stretch to employing professional partners. Consequently, there may be a restricted choice of partner, depending on how many others have come on their own. I will do my best to match players by system and experience and am happy to offer the option of cancelling if I am aware of a greater discrepancy than might be considered acceptable.

 

In order to match players as closely as possible it would be helpful if single players could let me know what system they play and their EBU rank, NGS status, or level of experience.

 

On certain holidays, where space or the number of single occupancy rooms is limited, I may ask single players to wait until I have a suitable partner for them before I confirm the booking.
