| Friendly Duplicate Bridge Every Tuesday - 7.15pm |
Welcome to New Chiswick Bridge Club, West London's newest bridge club. We meet every Tuesday at 7.15pm for friendly duplicate bridge. We aim to play 24 boards and finish play by 10.30pm. Duplicates include a short break at half-time for coffee and cake.
Our venue is the main function room at Chiswick Tennis Club, Burlington Lane, W4 3EU. New players and visitors are always welcome at no extra charge and we operate a host system so that single players are guaranteed a partner.
Table money is £6.50. The Club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union, so master points are awarded and the games are eligible for the National Grading Scheme ('NGS'). The table money includes the EBU "Pay-to-Play" levy.
We use electronic scoring - either by Bridgemate II electronic scorers, or the BriAn (Bridge on iPhone & Android) mobile phone app. Hand records are available at the end. Fully detailed results are posted promptly on the results page - see “Latest Result” above right, or the “Results” link in the menu, left.

| Blue Point Events A Success |

Teams in play on Sunday during the recent New Chiswick BC "Blue Pointed" Bridge Weekend
New Chiswick Bridge Club's first venture into hosting higher level events was a great sucess. We joined forces with one of London most promiment bridge clubs, the Young Chelsea BC - now located in Shepherds Bush, to stage a Pairs event on Saturday July 2nd and a Teams-of-4 event on Sunday July 3rd 2016.
Thirty pairs of all standards played in the pairs on the Saturday which was run on the Swiss principle - at each round you play against a pair with a similar score to your own. This format sorts the players very effectively and the winners were the favourites on paper, Allison Green and Nicola Smith. Earlier this month Nicola played on the winning English Ladies team at the European Championships held in Budapest and our event was honoured by her presence.
The following day nine teams played a complete round robin teams game. The winning team included a quartet of prominent players - Janet de Botton, Nick Sandqvist, Thor Erik Hoftaniska and Tom Townsend
Thanks to Nick Sandqvist of YCBC for co-hosting the event, and to Nicole Cook for directing both days' bridge. Full results are in the Results Calendar - click link opposite.
