| BOOKHAM AFTERNOON BRIDGE CLUB |
 Bookham Afternoon Bridge Club is a long-established club, we are approaching our 50th anniversary. We play Duplicate Bridge on Monday and Thursday afternoons, using Bridgemate for scoring. The Club is an affiliated member of the EBU.
Our home, the Old Barn Hall, is a very attractive venue. We usually have about twenty tables. Play starts at 1.15pm (new visitors should arrive by 12.50pm). There is a mid-afternoon tea break. A spare partner is usually available (but check the Calendar first).
We have currently reached our maximum membership of 210. You are welcome to come as a visitor and can apply for membership. If accepted, you will become a "waiting list member" and can play on Mondays when sessions are in the Main Hall. The Menu Box on the left has more information (see "Information" / "Where and When").
