We are a friendly club and welcome new members and visitors.

The No Fear Teams will be held at the Marches Bridge Club (Bartestree Village Hall) at 1:30pm on Saturday 31^st October. This is a restricted one session teams-of-four event.  

People can enter on the HBA website, or by email or post.

This competition is intended for players with little or no experience of bridge competitions outside of their bridge club. As such there are restrictions to entry based on Master Points and National Grading Scheme (NGS). Each partnership in a team must have an average NGS ranking of 9 or less (that is a combined NGS grade that does not exceed 106%) and only one player in a team can have a master point ranking of Regional Master or higher.

Like other HBA restricted events, non-EBU members and members of other counties may enter (with no dual membership fee).

Bidding systems are limited to level 2. Level 2 includes the variations on Acol or Benjamin that people normally use for club bridge. The main things excluded are multi openings and 2NT opening showing both minors. There is a document on the HBA website giving permitted level 2 agreements.

The relevant NGS ranking is as at 11^th September 2026.

The entry form can be found on the HBA website.

Gentle bridge has now finished as the lessons start on the 15th September.

We hope to be welcoming new players into the Club next Spring.
