News Update

Congratulations go to George and Andy for winning the 2025-2026 knockout competition !


Thanks Marilyn!

Many of us have enjoyed the wooly pom-pom hats that Marilyn makes herself and gives for free to any who want them. This includes Sadhana, who thought these would make a great gift for some of her friends - it seemed only fair that Marilyn should get a gift in return - flowers!

Thank you Marilyn!

Sad News

It is with much sadness that we have learned of the death of Andrew Billson, one of our first members. Here we are at our first Christmas bridge party in 2019 with Andrew on the right at the back. Andrew gave us a lot of help and support in setting up the club, loaning equipment and giving us ideas, confidence and 'know how'.  We think he would be quite proud if he could see us now. Andrew was a very accomplished bridge player and he will be missed by players across Leicestershire and Derbyshire. There will be a ' Celebration of  Life Event' at Sponden Bridge Club on Friday May 29th 2.00pm. Please let our club know if you wish to attend so Andrew's relatives can be informed of numbers.

We are pleased to announce that RealBridge is now available via BBVA and your Bagworth Bridge Club on a Monday evening. This is an exciting extension to your bridge playing experience and will be used in addition to your current games on BBO. For those who are not aware of RealBridge it is more akin to playing face to face and is a great substitute for meeting at the club. If you wish to participate click on the link below and we will know of your interest.

Our Real Bridge is on Monday evening 7.00-9.15. Please click on the link below to access our next session 232 on June 15th

Bagworth Community Centre
Bagworth Community Centre

We are a small and recently formed bridge group, now 5 years old, playing relaxed duplicate every Thursday afternoon and regularly have 7 tables.  Our sessions are at Bagworth Community Centre for Face to Face Bridge on Thursdays  and  online bridge  using RealBridge on a  Monday evenings where the links are always on the website below. We use scoring tablets and pre-dealt boards for our face to face sessions but we are not affiliated to the English Bridge Union at present and so no master points are awarded.

Our Mission is to share and spread the game of bridge to local people for their enjoyment, health and well being in a safe and comfortable environment.

We aim to create friendly and informal bridge play and whilst currently not affiliated to the English Bridge Union, we arrange matters and expect play to conform to their standards and procedures.
