The club is run by its members in accordance with the constitution.  It has its own private premises and is well established, providing regular duplicate bridge sessions for over 150 members. It is a member of the English Bridge Union and the majority of the club events generate EBU masterpoints. There are also occasional sessions that tie in with simultaneous national competitions. In addition to a comfortable playing area, the club has its own kitchen and licensed bar.

Visitors are most welcome at all times, but those intending to come on their own should note that a hosting system is only available on a Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday evening, Thursday morning and Friday evening. At these sessions the director will play to make up a pair if required.

All evening events commence promptly at 7 pm and end at approximately 10.15 pm.  (All members are asked to be seated 5 min prior to start of play). Duplimated boards are used for most sessions and scoring is facilitated by the BridgeTab system, providing members with a competition result within minutes. A comprehensive breakdown of results is posted on this site.

Annual subscriptions are £10.00 and members also pay £2.50 table money for Relaxed Bridge and £3.00 for EBU Bridge (visitors pay £3.50 table money for Relaxed Bridge and £4.00 for EBU Bridge). Members are automatically part of the English Bridge Union on enrolment.

Various members' competitions, for individuals, pairs and teams, are held annually. Dates can be found on the Events Programme page.
