Introductory Email from Zeb Stocken (edited)
- I’m a bridge teacher from Bath and I found your details through your club pages on bridgewebs. I’ve developed a fun web-app, Handle – a daily deal to test your declarer play. Like Wordle is for words, Handle is for hands... Handle launched at the end of 2024 and both players and non-players are loving it. The players are finding their technique really improving, the non-players are finding out about the world’s best card-game! We think your club members will enjoy it and find it useful.
- Our hope is to team up with clubs, players and teachers from around the country to promote bridge, particularly supporting grass roots. So we’re setting up an affiliate/referral program for clubs to benefit by promoting Handle to their members. We are also offering free subscription to youth players affiliated to clubs.
- Handle has a 30-day free go, before subscription. We would love for you to have a go at Handle, share with your friends – please forward this email - and compare thoughts. When you sign up (for free), you will also receive an email detailing Handle’s various features. It’s good to play a few deals to get the flow of the weekly tournament. Please let us know how you get on, then let’s take it from there - and collaborate.
- What is Handle?
