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.

Today's results have a very different look to them as for the first time in a very long time the competing pack was divided to produce a league table for North/South and East/West.  Some things stayed exactly the same however with a distinctly familiar look to the top of North/South as the pacesetting partnership of Carolyn and Shirley topped the charts again with another eyeball-scorching score of almost 65% to very nearly match what they achieved last week.

There was well-deserved reward also for Charles and Judith who posted almost 67% to take the East/West honours.  Charles has every right to look  pleased because he's been Mr. Consistency in recent weeks but the icing on the cake has nearly always eluded him until now.  He'll want to play in two leagues every week from now on but just to underline their victory today Charles and Judith achieved it with a better score than Carolyn and Shirley.

Today's third winners were Shellee and John who easily won their head-to-head final of the Winkworth Shield against Andrew and Martin to become the first champions of 2026.  They posted 57.54% which, even with a par handicap, was more than enough to beat the 4% handicap added to Andrew and Martin's raw score of 39.29%.  Congratulations to our 2026 champions.

Plaudits and prizes for Alex and Warren who claimed seven days of bragging rights with a score of as close to 70% as makes no difference with a lot of lovely green entries and not even one of those nasty reds to spoil the perfect view.  Warren is looking well pleased and why wouldn't he while Alex has gone for a chic and relaxed insouciance suggesting a very Kiplingnesk 'If' approach to the fleetingness of worldly success and failure.
