The Allendale Bridge Club combines friendly bridge with competitive bridge.  So we welcome all bridge players, from the most experienced to the keen beginner.

 We have about 200 members – some are extremely competent, others are relatively new to the game.  This mix of abilities works well, for the less experienced player can soon progress by playing against better players.  

The Club actively discourages any aggressive play, which can make an evening so unpleasant. Our qualified tournament directors ensure that bridge is played by the EBU laws in a friendly atmosphere. 

We support the EBU's BB@B code - 'Best Behaviour at Bridge'.  If you have never played in a bridge club but know the basics and enjoy the game you are welcome here!

Duplicate is played on Monday and Thursday evenings and Rubber bridge is on Tuesday afternoons.  We also run various teams events including a monthly Sunday afternoon session, which includes a break for tea and cake. Details of all events are given on our calendar page.
