Bridge cancelled for next 2 days - Thursday and Friday

I’m sorry to cause some disappointment at short notice. But unfortunately, we need to cancel bridge for the next 2 days. The reception floor was due to be replaced overnight, but it has turned out to be a bigger job than expected. I hope you understand.

CANCELLED: 1.30pm Thursday 13 August

CANCELLED: 10.00am Friday 14 August

If you were planning to attend either of these sessions, please can you make sure your partner is aware.

Look forward to seeing you at the next bridge session at 1.30pm Saturday 15 August 2026.

Annual Subscriptions

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION for 2026/2027

(for non-Student members only - see note below)

Your annual bridge club membership subscription for 2026-2027 is £24 and is due by 1st September 2026.

You can pay either at the Club via the card payment machine, or via bank transfer direct to the Bridge Club's bank account.

Please make payment as follows:-

1.    Card payment 

Please follow the instructions by the card payment machine at the club. If using this method, please pay by Debit Card, as the bank fees charged to the club are much lower than when credit cards are used. Please make sure that you use your own playing number when making payment (i.e. if you are paying for two people, pay individually using the correct playing number for each)

2.     Bank transfer

Bank details are as follows:

ACCOUNT NAME: Stratford upon Avon Bridge Club Ltd

SORT CODE: 20-48-08

ACCOUNT NUMBER: 40425680

REFERENCE – Please use your playing number (if you are paying for more than one person, include their number as well). Your playing number is the number that is put into the Bridgemate at the start of play.

Receipts will not be issued for bank transfer payments, but if you require confirmation of payment, please email accounts@stratforduponavonbridgeclub.org.uk

Please take this opportunity to tell us about any change of address, telephone number or email address.

LATE PAYMENTS - Please note that a further £6 (rejoining fee) is due (Total £24 + £6 = £30) if your payment is made after 30th September 2026.  In addition, because you would no longer be a member of the Club, Visitor playing fees would need to be paid until you rejoin (your playing number would continue to work on the Bridgemates, but not on the card machine).

NOTE FOR STUDENTS – When enrolling for Year One lessons this includes TWO consecutive years' membership of the club, and also includes the joining fee.  Only at the end of the two years will you be required to pay for the renewal of your annual subscription.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If you have any queries please contact Sue Debling: susiekdeb@gmail.com or 07880716178
