On Friday 24th April at 7.00 Nick Woollven, a prominent Yorkshire bridge player, will give this year's expert talk on Defence. Tickets priced at £10 are available from Anne Bell and include cheese and wine.

On Friday 6th March Gill and Chris were first with Frank and Irina second then Liz and Don in third, all scoring over 61%.

On Thursday 5th March we were again just one player short of having six tables! Jude and Michael were first with Liz and Vanessa in second and Peter and Lesley in third.

If you spot a scoring mistake in any of our games, please contact the Secretary or Scorer by noon the following day.

Stannington BC offers three regular games, all operating under EBU rules and awarding master points. On Wednesday evenings we play an online game of about 20 boards on BBO. On Thursday mornings at Stannington Village Hall we have a gentle bridge session of around 15 boards for members and improvers and provide hosts as partners. On Friday evenings we play face to face at the hall too when we hold our main club evening and play 24 boards. We have a monthly special event including friendly competitions, expert talks, cheese and wine evenings and, of course, our legendary Christmas Party!

We provide free refreshments and welcome visitors and players of all abilities to our friendly club.

If you are looking for a partner please contact Colin Mitchell on 01670 827598 or by email Colin.mitchell01@btinternet.com.
