Club Overview
Club Overview

 

Welcome to the Bradshaw Bridge Club web site.

 

The Bradshaw Bridge Club is a very friendly bridge club that meets on most Tuesday evenings and most Wednesday afternoons for duplicate pairs bridge, though very occasionally we play teams.

 

We meet at the Maiden Place Community Centre, Lower Earley, Reading, RG6 3HE on:

Tuesday evenings:         7.15 p.m. for 7.30 until 10.30 p.m.
Wednesday afternoons:  1.15 p.m. for 1.30 until 4.30 p.m.

 Bridgemates are used so the movement is fixed at 1.20 pm and 7.20 pm. Directors will normally not allow players to take part if both members of the pair are not seated by 1.20 pm or 7.20 pm.  

With exceptions made for people with special needs - seating positions and tables are allocated randomly by drawing a card on arrival.

Bridge playing visitors are welcome (but there is no host system) and membership of the club is available.

Visitors: please note that if we reach our maxium table capacity members have priority.

The Club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union. EBU Masterpoints are awarded at most Club evenings and will be credited directly.

The Club is also a member of the Berks & Bucks Contract Bridge Association. We enter 2 teams into the Berks & Bucks League of 8, and a team of 4 in the Bracknell league.

Notices

Please note that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays the club will be using BridgeMates for scoring.

Quiz Night 7-10.30 pm

SATURDAY 19 NOVEMBER

After last year’s successful night you are invited to another charity quiz when all Club players may meet & also invite their friends & family along, whether or not they play bridge at all.

General knowledge questions prepared by Brian B & Roger W will be put to teams of 6 to answer.

Teams can be selected on the night so all can take part but you can also pick your own team of 6 in advance if you prefer.

The £10 per ticket price includes food, with choice of fish/chips or chicken/chips. Drinks are not provided - players should bring their own glasses/bottles/cans.

There will be some prizes but the aim of the event is a fun evening for all, especially for those who do not play bridge.
