Welcome to Framlingham Bridge Club, in Suffolk. We formed in 1977 determined to keep this a very friendly Club. Members come from a wide area.

We meet twice weekly at the Conservative Club in Church Street, opposite St Michaels Church, Framlingham - strictly non-political and we have a full bar facility! Tea and coffee is also available.

On Monday evening from 7.15 to about 10.30p.m. we play Duplicate Bridge in a social atmosphere. We have a host system so please just turn up and we will find you a partner; if you wish to play with a regular partner - that is no problem, either.

On Wednesday afternoons from 2 to 5 p.m. we play social bridge; costs £1 including tea/coffee and a biscuit. We have been meeting since the beginning of November 2008 and these sessions have been very popular. We usually get around a dozen players.  Please come and join us: on your own or with a friend(s). You don't need to come with a partner as we organise around whoever turns up. This social bridge is intended:-

1. to be a friendly, low key introduction for those not familiar with duplicate bridge, aimed at social and/or rubber players who want to find out if they can enjoy duplicate. Please come along and have a go. There will be help on hand to introduce you to all the mysteries of duplicate, like bidding boxes, duplicate boards and suchlike. We will make sure that this will be enjoyable bridge, and we hope that it might lead to you joining in on Monday nights when you have the confidence.
2. for those who attend duplicate on Mondays but who want to be able to spend a little more time over hands discussing the ins and outs of the bidding or play etc.
3. for those who are a little rusty and would like to start to play again
