Welcome to WBC!
New to Worcester? New to Bridge? Just visiting?

We would like to think that at Worcester Bridge Club, we can cater for just what you need!

(If you are looking to LEARN the game rather than play, see below under "TEACHING")

Worcester Bridge Club now has two separate sessions, both of which welcome new members and occasional visitors:

  • Wednesday evening (7pm start, at Claines RBL) is our traditional "main event", at which all the competitions are held. Players of all abilities are welcome, and, since the successful era of "Intermediates", many of whom have now joined the main section, there is no need for a less experienced player to feel out of their depth. We usually play 24 boards where possible an aim to finish by approx 10-00pm; table money includes free tea/coffee and biscuits! We no longer have a host, but by booking in ahead, we are often able to find partners for single players.
  • Tuesday afternoon (1pm start, at Hallow Parish Hall) has been up and running for several years now, and provides an alternative option for players; at present, this is proving to be a gentler experience for less experienced players, though there are always plenty of stronger players to keep us on our toes! Again, we have no hosting rota, so pre-booking, or using the "Contact Us" tab is advised. Tuesday afternoon has become famous for its cakes, which regulars bring along on a random basis! Tea/coffee and cakes are all included in the table money.

VISITORS/GUESTS: Visitors are most welcome; ideally please contact us before coming - Mike (mike1958v@mail.com) or Roland (roland.draper@me.com).  We can usually accommodate people, but we do like to know how many we are expecting as far as possible. 

TEACHING: We do NOT aim to teach Bridge on our Club sessions - the philosophy is to learn by playing. In the Try-Duplicate section, hosts/stewards are happy to answer your questions briefly if time allows (Should I have been in game? Should I have over-ruffed?) but will NOT try to foist their ideas on you - we leave that to the regular teachers.  There are always a few die-hards at the Bar after the event, who will no doubt have ideas on what you should/might have done, though this advice comes with a health-warning! As hands are duplimated, you can also look at the hand records: the ever-wise computer will tell you how many tricks you might have made!  If you want formal lessons (strongly recommended!), contact one of the excellent teachers listed on the County website CLICK HERE
