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.

 Anybody who has ever seen a James Bond film will easily recall that outwardly he was/is every inch the English gentleman; charming, friendly, well educated and well dressed well connected to all the right people and knows all the swankiest restaurants and how to get the best table in all of them.   Well, we know that Simon and Richard effortlessly match up to most of that description but judging from the evidence of their mugshots their bon vivant credentials apply more to ice cream stalls and beirkellars - Bond on a budget.  Most of all however, like Bond, when the necessary socialising of scene one is out of the way and 2.00 p.m. shows on the clock their easy affability is applied as it was today to the serious business of swiftly and mercilessly dispatching the opposition for another Monday.   From now on it's no more Mr. Nice Guy for the Webmaster but he said that last week and the week before.

Just one week ago the Webmaster confessed to being on the point of running out of superlatives to describe the seemingly unstoppable improvement in winning performances.  Seven days on and it has come to pass that not one but two pairs tore through the 70% barrier today.  It was a neck and neck race to see which would top the 100 mark first, the sweating session leaders or the steadily climbing thermometer.  The thermometer won easily in the end while the rest of the field wilted in the roiling superheated wake of the leaders and focused on the increasingly remote prospect of avoiding heatstroke while we tried and failed to recall the bliss of a cold refreshing drink.  Congratulations to Stuart and Stanley and to Lindsay and Sally for producing outstanding results in the most trying of circumstances demonstrating that when the going gets tough the tough truly do get going.
