I need ideas for Members Pages content.  Please contact me with your ideas.

Welcome to Congleton Bridge Club

We meet on Mondays from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm at the new Life Church on West Road

At the moment our attendance is around 8 tables each week and we try to play about 24 boards

New members are welcome.  We do not operate a hosting scheme so you will need to have a partner.

Alternatively contact us an we can try to arrange a partner for you.

Announcing and Alerting 2022

New Announcing and Alerting regulations are now in force for EBU competitions.  The EBU document can be found by clicking on "EBU Information" on the left-hand menu.  When the page opens you will find extra options in the menu.  Choose "2022 Alerting and Announcing" to see the summary.

Club Tournaments are not bound by these regulations but we adhere to them so that players ae used to what happens in EBU competitions.

The main changes in 2022 are (the changes made in 2013 are underneath)

  • minor suit transfers over 1NT (that is 2S showing clubs and 2NT showing Diamonds) are now announced by saying "clubs" or "diamonds"
  • the point range of an opening 2NT is NO LONGER announced (this reverts the situation back to before 2013)
  • a 1NT response to a suit opening which may contain more than 10 points needs its point range to be announced
  • A 2 level new suit response to a 1 level suit opening which is game forcing needs to be announced as "game forcing"
  • Transfer responses to short 1 club (possibly less then 3 cards in length) are announced with the name of the suit they show
 
The main changes in 2013 were:
  • One level minor suit openings which could be fewer than 3 cards are now announced (strong artificial is still alerted)
  • 2NT openings  (Rescinded in 2022) and the Stayman (4-card) and red-suit transfer responses are now announced - as with 1NT
  • Only transfer completions that deny 4 card support are alerted
  • An artificial  SUIT bid on the first round (starting with the opening bid) is alerted even if it is above 3NT.
I suggest you highlight a copy of the document with your own arrangements.
 
Club Handbook and Director's Notes

The club first published a handbook in 1995.  It was written by our late Chairman Bill Cobbe.  The latest version "March 2019" can be viewed and printed here.  As well as giving some general information it details some of the more important ethical and procedural aspects of the game.
