Scunthorpe and District Bridge Association was established in 1977 when all of the bridge playing factions in Scunthorpe got together as one Club. They decided to buy their own property and transformed 2 Teale Street into a bridge club. The Club was officially opened in 1978 and is still going strong. Currently we have over 160 members and duplicate bridge is played on 3 nights every week.
Classes are taught on a Thursday night and are well attended by up to 40 students. The classes start again on September 18th. 2008.
The cost is £2.00 per lesson (members) or £3.00 per per lesson (Non Members)
There will be an Open Evening on September 11th. 2008 when people can come and get a taste of the game at no cost.
New students are very welcome as well as people wanting to attend the Improvers classes.
Attendances at duplicate sessions vary between 8 and 15 tables and are generally very constant.
Table fees are very modest at £2.00 per session and annual subscription is £5.00 per year. The Club is looked after by a very dedicated and enthusiastic Committee who all give their time freely. Luckily this Committee is a good mixture of experinced bridge players and those relatively new to the game and so any problems encountered by players wishing to start playing duplicate bridge can always be addressed.
We are always on the lookout for new members and anyone wishing to join the Club should contact one of the Officers of the Club (see Committee webpage). Playing nights are Monday, Wednesday and Friday with play starting at 7.00p.m. and generally finishing at 10.15p.m. Sessions are scored immediately after play and results available within about 15-20 minutes.
We are proud of the fact that over the Club premises have been paid for and that the Club is always looking to improve the playing conditions for the members, we feel that we are heading in the right direction. |
