Thanks blackshoe. It's what I thought except sometimes that plural form is incorrect (like "fora" not being the plural of "forums")

Fora is correct as the plural form of forum; so is forums. In earlier times fora was more commonly used, now forums is more common, but both are fully correct. The Oxford dictionary has put forward the idea that fora be used for the ancient Roman meaning and forums for other usages. This follows a long-standing tradition from Oxford of trying to "clean up" English. Some of their previous attempts included not using unnecessary letters in spelling, so ax rather than axe - strangely this never caught on.

Anyway, I would agree that a NE for bridge is likely but that is too difficult to calculate. Not that this has anything to do with the OP which seems to give a good indicator of one reason new players are often put off from going to bridge clubs.
