St. Bees is a small EBU-affiliated club with a very friendly atmosphere . We actually meet not at St Bees but nearby at Bigrigg , in the Village Hall ; our members mainly come from Whitehaven , St Bees and the smaller villages to the south.

Despite our rural Cumbrian location , we're still in touch with the modern world : we use Duplimate-dealt boards and the BridgePads wireless scoring system .

If  you're visiting the area and would like a game , we should be happy to welcome you ; if you don't have a partner , you need to contact the secretary in advance , and he'll do his best to find you one .

You can find out more details about us by clicking on 'Information' in the menu on the left .

Important : please note that the times of the Friday sessions have changed with immediate effect : doors will be open at 1.00 p.m. , and everyone should be seated and ready to play by 1.15 ; scheduled finishing time is 4.30 . These times will apply on Friday 4th June and all subsequent Fridays .

This is a password-protected area ; you gain access in the first place by using the club's default password (ask me) which you then change to a password of your own choice .

Update The reports on all the committee meetings for the last twelve months are now available in this section , under 'Notices' (all in pdf format) (updated 18 Nov. 09)
