Barrow Bridge Club
Barrow Bridge Club

Welcome to Barrow Bridge Club. We are a friendly club located in beautiful South Cumbria. It has often been said we are located at the end of a 30 mile cul-de-sac.  Despite our remote location, we have embraced modern technology. We are a thriving club with approximately 70 members who range in ability.

If you are interested in learning to play, we hold lessons for those interested in taking up this wonderful game and we would love to hear from you.

We use Duplimated boards and Bridgemates scoring system for instant results at the end of the evenings play.

Visitors who can already play bridge are very welcome.  If you wish to play, or if you need a partner to do so, please contact the club or secretary in advance and we will try to find one for you if at all possible.  We would be delighted to enjoy a game with you. 

 We play in the Club on Monday and Thursday evenings at 7pm and Tuesday and Friday afternoons at 1.15pm. Please be in the club and seated by these times.  We are located at 1A Drake Street Barrow in Furness LA14 5RG (Corner of Hartington Street and Drake Street).

We also play online three times a week on Monday at 1pm and Friday at 1.30 pm and Tuesday evenings at 7pm, register at least 30 minutes beforehand.  We welcome new players who would like to join us online only.

Barrow Bridge Club is affiliated to the EBU (www.ebu.co.uk) and is a member of Cumbria County Bridge Association. (www.bridgewebs.com/cumbria)

A Festival of Bridge

From 9th - 16th September 2024 we joined with  the EBU in supporting Cancer Research UK. As a club we raised an impressive £700.  Thank you all for your contributions, generosity and involvement.  EBU have already reached and exceeded their £60,000 target.  It’s currently standing at over £100,000.

Our Open Day was well supported by members and we had a number of visitors who have expressed an interest in learning the game and joining us.

We celebrated the Club’s 80th Anniversary in style with a wonderful meal, table magician, quiz, music and dancing at Barrow Golf Club on Thursday 12th September.  Special thanks to Carole, Celia and Clare for all their hard work organising this and thinking of every detail, and Marion and Gerry for the marvellous celebration cake they made.
