| Looking for a Partner? |
To use the Find a Partner system on this website, click on Membership, on the left, then enter your email address and password where requested. If you don't already have a password, click on Forgotten Password and one will be sent to you. Two of you sharing an email address can still use this feature by following these instructions and setting up different passwords. If you have changed your email address, please advise the Secretary so that she can update the website to allow this process to work.
Once you are in the Membership section, click in the Partner Required box for the appropriate date.
A note will appear in the Calendar on the Home Page showing that someone is looking for a partner. When another member goes into ther system, they will find your name and contact details.
The system may ask you for the Club Registration Code. I am emailing this to those members for whom I have an up-to-date email address.

| How to play bridge |
Bridge evolved from the English pastime of whist, a similar but simpler game, which dates from at least the early seventeen-hundreds. In both, a card is played from each of the four hands in succession, and the resulting four-card “trick” is won either by the highest card in the suit that was led or by the highest card in the “trump” suit—a designated supersuit, which defeats all others. This sounds straightforward until you try it.
One of the reasons bridge continues to fascinate players all over the world is that, in order to become even sort of good at it, you have to be willing to be bad at it for a long time.
