| Welcome to Bookham Afternoon Bridge Club |
Bookham Afternoon Bridge Club celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019.
We play duplicate bridge on Monday and Thursday afternoons at the Old Barn Hall, Church Road, Bookham KT23 3PQ.
The Club is an affiliated member of the EBU.
Play commences at 1315, but you need to arrive by 1300 and be seated at your table at 1305. This enables the Director to select the right deal to be played.
We welcome visitors. First-time visitors should arrive by 1250. Please contact the Secretary for more information. ► Contact email

| Monday Harrison Room Events |
On the first Monday in the month, the Main Hall is used by another organisation. We therefore have to use the Harrison Room where we are limited to 14 tables and sign-up lists are required. While members are given priority, guests may attend with a member if there is space. Please note that we may only use the rear car park on these occasions.
If the first Monday is a Bank Holiday, we have to use the Harrison Room on the second Monday with the same conditions.
Please take care when getting up from the table not to reverse your chair into another member. This is particularly important in the restricted space of the Harrison Room and at teatime.
The list for December is now available. ► Contact email

| Parking |
Special request, please - as we are all aware, parking is limited at the hall, so it makes sense to use the space efficiently. When we are in the main hall, please can the first arrivals park adjacent to the hedge on both sides and use the four spaces along the side of the hall first to ensure all our allocated spaces can be used.
Please note that on Thursdays, we have to share the car park with the U3A bridge group who meet in the Waterfield Room. They have been allocated four spaces marked with cones near the conifer tree on the right hand side of the car park.
We realise that parking is somewhat restricted, but we do need to respect agreements which have been reached with the Barn Management.
For Main Hall events, please use the front car park only.
For Harrison Room events, please use the rear car park only.
