VE Day 2025

An opportunity to reflect on the occasion in our personal way.

Thank you!

Swiss Teams Event Saturday July 12th 12.30-5.00pm 2025

Swiss Teams Event Saturday July 12th 12.30-5.00pm 2025

Bagworth Community Centre, Station Road, LE67 1BH Front Hall

See BOOKING FORM below.

We are holding a social Swiss Teams of four event on Saturday July 12th with afternoon tea including a glass of prosecco. We hope it is a fun afternoon with some prizes for the winning team of four but without EBU master points or submission of the scores to the EBU. If you are not familiar with swiss teams there is information on the web both via bridgewebs and the EBU as well as other platforms. Your team will be matched against teams of similar abilities as the rounds progress. It is great fun to see how your team progresses or not!!

You need to join preferably as a team of four or as a pair and we will place you with another pair. We have space for 12 tables and we are giving Bagworth members the first opportunity to book in although you may have mixed teams made up of additional members from either Ashby or Market Bosworth as our neighbouring clubs. After that, we may offer tables to both these clubs as well. Hence, we would like to register and book in your team by the end of May. You can, of course register later but there may not be space. Our treasurer will then invoice you for the event which will be £12.00 per person for what we hope will include a very nice afternoon. Profits from the event will be shared with a charity or charities, yet to be determined.

Please talk to any of the committee members about the event or George Strang or Simon Learoyd who are managing the set up and IT equipment. You do not need to have had experience in either playing or scoring in teams events. Forms should be returned to Shelagh Rumbelow or via email to shelagh.rumbelow@googlemail.com.

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 179 on 12th May

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.
