Bloxham Bridge Club, founded in September 1987, is a members social club for players of intermediate standard playing in an informal and friendly atmosphere. The conduct of the club is arranged by a committee, elected at the AGM (appointments to vacancies during a year being made by the committee), who welcome suggestions for change in the club’s routine.

The club welcomes intermediate level players espeically those who wish to try duplicate. Membership is at the invitation of the committee. For further details please email bloxham.bridge@gmail.com or call the chairman or administrator

Whilst the club is not a member of the English Bridge Union it uses its laws, rules and procedures for the conduct of its bridge events.

Thanks to the initiative and hard work of Roger Dadd and the purchace of the Bridgemate equipment from Kings Sutton (they have upgraded their system) as from Thursday 5 March the club are now using Bridgemate/Scorebridge for all of their duplicate events.

Bridgemates (see picture) are data-entry devices used at the tabletops (one for each table) to input player data, contracts and results. They replace the paper scoring. Only one player at the table (usually North) needs to operate them.

All members of the club have been assigned player numbers and guests will be assigned such as and when.

Once the control computer is set up for the movement being used and the details of player numbers at each table, Bridgemate will display messages for each round about players and boards to be played.

As play progresses tables can use the Bridgemates to see the outcome of other plays of the board just played. Provided that there are no mistakes the result will be available live at the end of the event!

Table fees have, to fund this, increasesd to £3 from 1 March 2026
