Precision Sessions in BIL
The Precision Club Sessions in BIL take place every Saturday at 8pm UK time. The whole course lasts several months
and for the most part follows a fairly set pattern. Some topics are dealt with in a single week whilst others are covered
over two or more weeks.Breaks in the schedule occur from time to time and they are normally notified in advance in the BIL Gazette, by text messages on BBO to BIL Members, and will be notified on this page.
Apologies:
Apologies to all for these Teaching Sessions not recommencing in January 2011 as planned. My wife Naomi is not at all well at the moment and I simply cannot commit to spend the time teaching. Hopefully I will be in a position to re-start these teaching sessions some time in 2012.Next Precision Session
