Andrew Kambites
Q. Where Andrew
Kambites is mentioned will he be there
the entire duration ?
A. Yes |
Bridge
Q. What
is the standard of play.
A. An
almost impossible question that we believe
is best answered by describing the standard
like any reasonable size bridge club.
You
have some good players, reasonable players,
those not so good and those that think
they
are better than they actually are.
(According to my wife usually husbands)
Our holidays are aimed at the established
player who enjoys bridge run professionally.
We pride ourselves on providing equipment,
facilities, venues and personnel to very
high standards whilst actively encouraging
friendliness and understanding at the table.
Our one week holidays run by Andrew Kambites
are run in exactly the same manner except
that Andrew will offer seminars most days
for those that want them. For all trophy
events (most evenings) and for
the qualifying rounds we use a duplimate
machine to ensure consistency and fairness.
Records of the hands are of course available.
Bidding boxes are also supplied. |
Q.
Are all bridge fees included in the
price?
A. Yes! |
Partners
Q. Can
I come without a partner ?
A.
Yes.
A partner will always be found for you.
Q. Can
you guarantee to find me a partner of my
own standard ?
A.
No, but we will
always do our best to assist to that effect.
Q.
If you
find me a partner & for whatever reason
we do not get on, will I have to play with
him/her throughout ?
A. No.
We are very conscious that everyone, no
matter what standard, should enjoy their
bridge. If you did not enjoy your game it
is likely your partner felt the same. We
find we always have a number of singles
and indeed some partnerships who wish to have
a change during the holiday. In addition
we have three members of staff available
to play.
Q. Your
programme shows you play a proportion of
teams, what about a partner and team mates
?
A.
Again that is no problem. |
Accommodation
Q. In
October as well as the hotel you advertise
apartments, what are the advantages/disadvantages
?
A. The
main advantage of the apartments are the
size. They are designed to sleep 6 and consist
of two double bedrooms. They are nicely
appointed with a full size cooker and fridge.The
main disadvantages are that they are not
attached to the hotel and some are situated
up a very slight incline.
Q.
What
facilities are there in the hotel rooms
?
A. Television, hairdryers,
telephones and a balcony. All rooms have
a bath with a shower. A fridge and safe
are available - details at reception.
There are no tea making facilities. (Madeira
is an
exception in that all rooms are equipped
with a kitchenette.)
Q. Do
the hotels supply beach towels/robes ?
A. Towels
yes; beach robes no (La Quinta Hotel provides
bath/beach robes). |
