Welcome to Kent School of Bridge
WELCOME!
WELCOME!

The Kent School of Bridge was set up by Malcolm Mitchell (who died in 2014), who taught bridge at adult education classes, to give his students some proper competitive play, but in a friendly atmosphere.  After a nomadic existence around various locations in Maidstone, the club settled in Downswood in 1988.  A few years later Malcolm commenced a second session in Bearsted, although that was discontinued from the end of 2022 due to falling attendances.  Finally a third arm was set up in Lenham in 2006, which is proving popular.  The club currently has about 100 members, who can play at either of the venues for one annual subscription.

Introduction/Disclaimer
Introduction/Disclaimer

Welcome to the Kent School of Bridge!  We are no longer a school, but are in Kent, and we do play bridge.  Our standard could broadly be described as intermediate.  We do not yet use Bridgemate computer scoring.  Although the competition results on this site show Master Points awarded, we do not deal in Master Points, being unaffiliated to the EBU.  If you see the phrase "Master Points", programme your brain to read "Local Points"!

If you are interested in learning bridge, unfortunately we are not your best bet, despite our name (explained elsewhere on this page).  KCC used to provide adult education evening classes, then didn't, but that could be your first enquiry.  Otherwise, there is a shortage of teachers.  However, Cathy Grant, one of our members, helps run a class under the auspices of the Maidstone Bridge Club, but this is a one off project each year, and once the class is full, no more candidates are accepted.  You may be able to put your name down for next year, though - it's worth it!  If you'd like to enquire of her, her email address is catherine.grant@blueyonder.co.uk, and her phone number 01634 231717 (but please try emailing first).
