| Welcome |
Welcome to 10CC.
We are a Bridge School. Our goal is to help people navigate their way through their Bridge journey, regardless of their level. We have a particular emphasis on beginners, so if you are interested in learning Bridge, get in touch.
We also help more experienced players continue to learn, right up to higher aspects of the game. Sean and Simon (professional bridge players) lead the teaching. For more on the Teaching and Supervised Play – click here
Since 2003 we have an invitation-only private club of friends that play a regular game of duplicate bridge in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. To learn more - click here.

| Changes to 10CC - Online Bridge |
Due to the current global pandemic, 'in person' bridge activities have currently been suspended at 10CC until further notice. Our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of our members (both new and veteran) and so we will not be reopening until it is safe to do so.
In lieu of the range of live bridge we did have happening, 10CC has moved online for the time being. We offer a range of activities throughout the week suitable for all abilities and we'd love for you to join us! This includes lessons, duplicates and supervised sessions (among others), and our full list of weekly activities can be found at the bottom of the home page. We run our activities using the website 'bridgebase', and several activities also include the use of 'Zoom' to make for a more authentic, social atmosphere. We run our activities on a weekly subscription basis, you can see these below.
Bronze (£3):
Monday Tournament - 8pm
Wednesday Masterclass - 1:30pm
Thursday Tournament - 7:30pm
Sunday Social - 4pm
The use of Slack to ask us bridge questions.
Silver (£6):
All events included within Bronze
Wednesday Supervised Play - 10:30am
Teams League
Gold (£10):
All events included within Silver and Bronze
Tuesday Refresher - 1:50pm
Thursday Lesson and Supervised Play - 3pm
(Essentially everything)
What is not currently listed on the weekly activities are beginners lessons. We do currently run a course on a Thursday afternoon, with another starting some time in the new year (with enough interest).
If you are interested in joining us for our weekly activities or are thinking about learning how to play bridge, please do get in touch and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. You can email us at: 10ccbridge@gmail.com

| Richard & Simon Play Bridge in AUSTRALIA |
 Click anywhere within this box to continue reading about Richard's musings from the other side of the world.
"I can’t decide if Australia is ahead of the UK or behind. They don’t use bidding boxes. They use bits of paper instead. It feels a bit weird to begin with, but works well. And as someone with an interest in all things forestry, I do approve of a bit of paper usage.
There is a problem though. As each player in turn writes their bid, my partner (slightly rudely, in my view), says that he has no idea what to bid next as he can’t read his partners handwriting and has no clue what was responded. It’s a tough game, remembering system and trying to write legibly."
