Framlingham BC is a small friendly and relaxed Duplicate Bridge Club established in 1977. The club is affiliated to the Suffolk Contract Bridge Association (SCBA) and to the English Bridge Union (EBU) and membership of the club automatically enrolls you as a member of the two higher parent organisations. The annual club membership of £5.00 covers membership of the other two. Please see 'Information' in the menu panel for further details times etc.
Monday afternoons. This session is intended for experienced players but don't let the word 'experienced' put you off. The average standard of Monday players is NGS 7or 8 and our two highest rated players are a modest NGS 10. So long as you can play a solid no frills game you'll be winning trophies here in no time.
Wednesday afternoons This is a duplicate session with fewer (usually 18) boards played than on Monday afternoons. EBU master points are not awarded because we take a more relaxed view of the laws of the game and there is a less competitive atmosphere in order to help and encourage less experienced players who wish to improve or to provide a gentle reintroduction to the game for those who may not have played for a while. It's also there for members who seek no more than an social afternoon of bridge. There is no obligation to move up to play on Mondays although we hope this will happen naturally as Wednesday players become more experienced. Some Monday players also play on Wednesdays but do so in the relaxed ethos of the session. We do not at present offer teaching at any level so you must be able to play at least a basic game in order to take part. Feel free to drop in on your own to watch a bit of play and get a feel for the club, existing club members have done just that before deciding to join us.
All visitors are welcome but you will need to come with a partner or please contact Richard Goble on 07765910637 or Glyn Button 01728 831647 and they will try to find you a partner via the Club's WhatsApp group because we almost always have a club member who is in need of one.

 A SIMS session always stimulates an increased appetite for the Monday afternoon Melee (at least it does for the Webmaster) because of the potentially whopping great helpings of masterpoints for those whose good club scores usually get a big uplift when they are thrown into the national melting pot. Congratulations to Paul and Lindsay who have been positioning themselves in recent weeks to mount a serious challenge for the big prize when it really matters. There is however still much to play for as a gaggle of other runners finished not far behind them and history shows that the club finishing order isn't always replicated at the national level. Sadly there is no library picture for Lindsay so Paul gets all the limelight by default.

  There's winning and then there's winning and then again there's winning big and after that comes winning Stanley and Stuart big with 74% You can tell from the ear-to-ear smile that Stanley is horribly embarrassed about it while Stuart is more; 'Really, surely not?' Surely yes Stuart because you and your partner blew the rest of us out of the water with the exception of:
 Inge and Shirley who finished a long way back in second with just over 59% but that hardly does justice to them as they were still well ahead of the rest of the pack and on another day their score would have been quite good enough to put them clear top.
