Welcome to Thakeham Bridge Club
THAKEHAM BRIDGE CLUB
THAKEHAM BRIDGE CLUB

This popular bridge club was founded in 1980 by four friends who played bridge socially and then decided to form a formal club. The club now has a membership of over one hundred enthusiastic players who enjoy the challenge and reward of the game. Our dealing machine is now fully operational and provides interesting card distributions and hand records that accompany web-posted results.

We meet on: (i) Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm, usually for teams (so it would be very helpful if you could let Harold know in advance whenever you intend playing) and (ii) Friday afternoons at 1:20pm for duplicate pairs. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before play commences. Visitors are most welcome but no standby partners are provided. However, should you need a partner please contact Harold Linfield on (01798) 812276.

NEW -  Bridge Article: Why not take a look at our new page, which covers some interesting aspects of bridge? Its on the main menu at the top left side of our front page.

ARRIVAL

Please try to arrive 10 - 15 minutes before play is scheduled to start in order to help our directors and scorers.

 If delayed by traffic please contact a member of the committee.

Competitions

The Spring Teams competition will be held Friday 26th April. This event is open to Thakeham Bridge Club members only. Looking further ahead, the Children in Need SIM pairs has been scheduled for 8th November 2024.

The National Interclub Knockout Competition (NICKO): The Nicko is open to all clubs. Thakham BC entered a team of 6 (Harold and Cecily Linfield, Jeremy Harris, Ron James and David and Andrea Galpin) with 4 players playing in each match.  To date Cecily, Jeremy and David and Andrea have played.

Round 1 was played in December as an away match against a team from Tunbridge Wells BC.  The match proved testing against a Kent County Team including the current Kent County Pairs Champions.

Round 3 was played as a home match during March 2024 against Young Chelsea BC who were last year's winners. Thakeham BC came 2nd in the event, which is a credit to our team.
