"Bridge is an extremely enjoyable game. Courteous behaviour is an exceptionally important part of that enjoyment. 

If a player at the table, whether face-to-face or online, behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately."

Please call the Director if you think you may have been affected by bad behaviour.

If you feel that the matter was not resolved, you should make an official complaint to Pat Ramsay.

Oswestry BC would not tolerate bad behaviour!

You will be helping others as well as yourselves.
